中新网评：处理核污水绝不是日本自家私事******
中新网北京1月19日电(蒋鲤)日本政府近日称，将于2023年春夏期间开始向海洋排放经过处理的福岛第一核电站核污水。日本罔顾国内民众及周边国家的屡屡反对，企图将核污水“一倒了之”，把一件关乎全球海洋生态环境和公众健康的事当成了自家私事。
资料图：日本福岛第一核电站。2011年，福岛核电站事故发生后，大量放射性物质泄漏到大气层和太平洋，对周围环境造成了难以逆转的伤害，数十万人被迫撤离该地区。时至今日，作为日本邻国之一的韩国仍未解除福岛海鲜禁令。
日本以核污水存储能力即将达到上限为由，在2021年4月13日，正式决定将福岛第一核电站核污水排入太平洋。过去一年多，日本政府和东京电力公司一直在持续推进核污水排海计划。
日本政府辩称，这些核污水经多核素处理系统(ALPS)处理后很安全，甚至“可以喝”，这样的表态无疑在愚弄大众。
事实上，经过处理的核污水仍含有多种放射性物质，核污水一旦排放入海就无法回收，长期来看，将会给海洋生态带来难以估量的潜在威胁，最终危害人类健康。
因此，核污水排海计划推出后，遭到日本民众强烈反对。日本《朝日新闻》2022年3月公布的问卷调查显示，福岛县、宫城县和岩手县受访的42个市町村长中，约六成反对东京电力公司福岛第一核电站核污水排放入海。日本全国渔业协会联合会也多次申明立场，反对该计划。
日本政府认为，核污水排海是最便宜、最省事的解决方案，但此举却将周边国家乃至全世界置于核污染风险中。太平洋非日本一家之海，核污水会随着洋流流动，其影响势必会跨越国界，危害周边国家乃至整个国际社会的公共福祉和利益。
《韩国经济新闻》发文称，相关研究认为，福岛核污水如果排放入海，约7个月后将到达济州等韩国海域，该国水产业和旅游业将遭受相当大的损失。
德国南极海洋机构也曾发出警告，若日本将所有核污水排入海中，不到半年，整个太平洋都将面临高度辐射威胁，包括远在大洋另一端的美国。太平洋地区人民更是对日本该计划持反对意见。
日本作为《联合国海洋法公约》缔约国，有义务保护海洋环境。然而，在核污水排海方案的正当性、核污水数据的可靠性、净化装置的有效性、环境影响的不确定性等问题上，日本未能作出科学、可信的说明。
国际原子能机构技术工作组虽已三次赴日实地考察评估，但尚未就日排海方案的安全性给出结论，并且对日本提出诸多澄清要求和整改意见。在此情况下，日本仍执意推进核污水排海工程建设，这是极不负责任的行为。
太平洋不是日本的下水道，日本必须正视各方合理关切，在与周边国家等相关利益方和国际原子能机构充分协商后，制定合理的核污水处理方案。日本也要着眼长远，若只顾眼前，执意将核污水排放入海，不仅其自身，周边国家乃至全世界都将为之买单，其后果必将会危害数代人。
Fukushima water disposal by no means Japan’s own business
By John Lee
(ECNS) -- Japan has announced it will release treated wastewater from the wrecked Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant into the Pacific Ocean this year.
Although Fukushima wastewater disposal affects global marine ecological environment protection and public health, Japan has turned a deaf ear to domestic and international opposition to dumping the contaminated water into the sea, treating the "global" matter as its own business.
The Fukushima accident in 2011 had sent large quantities of radiation into the atmosphere and the Pacific Ocean, causing irreversible damage to the surrounding environment, and hundreds of thousands of people were forced to evacuate the area. South Korea still maintains its import ban on Japanese seafood from areas affected by the Fukushima nuclear disaster.
On April 13, 2021, Japan announced it had decided to discharge contaminated radioactive wastewater in Fukushima Prefecture into the sea due to dwindling storage space, with the Japanese government and plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc. promoting the release plan over the past year.
The Japanese government argues that the water treated by an advanced liquid processing system, or ALPS, is safe and drinkable, which is undoubtedly fooling the public.
In fact, the treated wastewater still includes a variety of radioactive substances and can’t be recycled once discharged into the sea, which will pose a great threat to marine ecology and ultimately endanger human health in the long run.
Therefore, the discharge plan has been strongly opposed in Japan. According to a questionnaire conducted by The Asahi Shimbun, nearly 60 percent of mayors of 42 municipalities in Iwate, Miyagi and Fukushima prefectures oppose the discharge plan. The National Fisheries Cooperative Federation of Japan has also repeatedly stated its opposition in public.
The Japanese government believes that dumping Fukushima wastewater into the sea is the cheapest and most convenient solution, but neighboring countries and even the whole world will be at risk of nuclear pollution.
The Pacific Ocean doesn’t belong to Japan and the wastewater flow along oceanic currents will surely break boundaries and endanger public welfare and the interests of neighboring countries and even the international community.
The Korea Economic Daily reported that related research concluded that if contaminated water from Fukushima is released into the ocean, it would only take seven months for the contaminated water to reach the shores of Jeju Island, with the country's aquaculture and tourism suffering considerable losses.
According to the calculation of a German marine scientific research institute, radioactive materials will spread to most of the Pacific Ocean within half a year from the date of discharge, and the U.S. and Canada will be affected by nuclear pollution. People in the Pacific region also oppose the discharge plan.
As a participant of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, Japan has the obligation of protecting the marine environment.
However, it hasn’t offered a full and convincing explanation on issues like the legitimacy of the discharge plan, the reliability of data on the nuclear-contaminated water, the efficacy of the treatment system or the uncertainty of environmental impact.
Though the IAEA has yet to complete a comprehensive review after three investigations in Japan, the Japanese side has been pushing through the approval process for its discharge plan and even started building facilities for the discharge. It is rather irresponsible for Japan to act against public opinion at home and concerns abroad.
The Pacific Ocean is not a private Japanese sewer. The country must seriously heed the voices of the international community and make a reasonable plan for the Fukushima wastewater disposal after full consultation with stakeholders and international agencies.
If it only seeks instant interest and insists on discharging the contaminated water into the sea, not only itself, but also its neighboring countries and the entire world will pay for the decision and several generations will be forced to bear the consequence.
上海崇明多家集贸市场“智慧”升级****** “今天猪肉是18块一斤，数据平台上蔬菜、肉类等价格一目了然，特别清楚。”近日，由上海市崇明区经委牵头，多家集贸市场“智慧”升级。从传统的农贸市场到新兴的生态市集，人们买菜的环境不断改善、体验不断提升，老百姓的“菜篮子”拎得更放心。
目前，全区51家集贸市场中，已通过验收的生态市集有9家，其中二星级生态市集4家，一星级生态市集5家，取得了阶段性成效。 上午8点，位于崇明区港西镇的盘西农贸市场里，人头攒动，前来购物的沈先生买了两斤猪肉，对价格和肉质都颇为满意。在盘西农贸市场，各摊位商户配备了统一的智能电子秤，菜品上秤后就会立即显示类别、净重、单价、金额等信息，并实时上传到数据库。“有了这些日常交易数据，就可以追溯菜品的源头，把控质量安全就有了科学参考。”盘西农贸市场相关负责人龚明表示。 信息技术是一项不可或缺的资源，是生态市集建设与管理的“润滑剂”，一批智能设备应用在生态市集改造中，通过统一的数据管理为稳定的菜价保驾护航。“特别是在遇到节日供应、恶劣天气等特殊情况时，我们可以通过系统，及时发现苗头性、趋势性问题，进行预警发布，落实应急预案，保障供应价格稳定。”龚明说。 记者了解到，4724平方米的盘西农贸市场是附近居民买菜购物的首选。2022年，盘西农贸市场在原有基础上进行改造，增设消防楼梯、服务台、农残检测室、湿垃圾处置室，完善内部排水系统，并设立顾客休息区，各项设施一应俱全。“比原来干净多了，买东西也很方便。”家住附近的市民直呼满意。
与此同时，位于崇明区绿华镇的崇西集贸市场也“换新”归来。之前集贸市场是网格式围栏，一到冬天，人就被西北风吹得浑身打颤。现在菜场四周建起了围墙，安装了窗户，即刻变成了“大暖棚”。此外，市场顶棚也重新改造升级，杜绝了漏雨、漏风的情况发生，暖心的改造获得市民好评。 据悉，下一步，崇明区经委将以全市“智慧菜场”创建为抓手，进一步加强生态市集硬件的系统建设，引导市场配置电脑、大屏幕、信息平台、数字哨兵、监控设备等软硬件设施来实现市场内亮证经营、明码标价、价格公示、肉菜源头可追溯等智慧管理的目标，保证市民百姓舌尖上的安全。 “我们将赋予集贸市场多元化的业态功能模块，打造和谐共享的生态空间，探索一套‘生态空间、生态管理、绿色消费、绿色服务’的生态市集建设管理新模式。”崇明区经委市场运行科施玉华表示。（光明日报全媒体记者颜维琦通讯员魏娜） 天下彩票地图 |
