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.
兔茅申购价2499元,经销商称控货严,生肖酒会退烧吗?****** 茅台直销“i茅台”首发兔茅售价2499元/瓶。 1月5日20时,茅台的第十款生肖酒兔茅在“i茅台”App首发申购。在“i茅台”平台,53度500ml兔茅“贵州茅台酒(癸卯兔年)”(以下简称“兔茅”)售价2499元/瓶。据贵州茅台官微介绍,本场兔茅首发专场投放29999瓶兔茅供用户申购。 “i茅台”显示,申购结果将于1月6日18时后公示,申购成功后将以短信形式通知消费者。据“i茅台”介绍,此次兔茅首发申购持续1小时,至21时结束,专场申购登记先后顺序与申购成功率不关联。 据“小茅i茅台”官微介绍,1月4日开启虎茅申购的“告别专场”,共计投放29999瓶虎茅。此后,兔茅将接力虎茅在“i茅台”上架,开启每日享约·茅台时段开放申购。 自2022年3月31日以来,茅台推出“i茅台”平台,扩大了直销渠道。2022年前三季度,贵州茅台的直销渠道收入达318.82亿元,较上年同期增长117%,占营收比重达约36%。与此同时,直销渠道挤压经销商生存空间的声音也一直存在。 与往年茅台生肖酒发售后经销商纷纷推出预订、预售的火热情形不同,今年不少经销商反映控货更严。 1月3日,上海一位茅台经销商告诉澎湃新闻记者,“兔茅”还没有货,价格也尚未确定,也并未像去年“虎茅”发售前一样接受预售。 1月5日,北京一位茅台经销商也表示兔茅“暂时没有货”,也暂时没有预售,并称今年控货厉害。去年,虎茅发售后,市场上虽没有现货流通,这位经销商也曾推出“预售价”支持提前预订,虎茅价格一度炒上6000元/瓶。 知趣咨询总经理蔡学飞认为,茅台生肖酒一向是中国最重要的投资类白酒品类,本身的稀缺性非常强。“在旺盛的需求面前,每年限量发售进一步加剧了(生肖酒的)产品价值。”蔡学飞指出,由于茅台酒在送礼市场有很强的流通性,加上“生肖”“限量”的概念,受到市场追捧“是必然的结果”。 那么,“i茅台”直接投放兔茅,是否会让茅台生肖酒市场降温呢?蔡学飞认为,“i茅台”的精准投放,能缓解一部分市场对茅台生肖酒的供需矛盾,满足一部分刚需消费者的需求,但兔茅的稀缺属性并不会改变,茅台生肖酒在高档礼品市场上仍然有很强的号召力。 “(但也)要客观认识到,考虑到茅台最近几年一直在做价格管理,相较于往年的生肖酒,今年兔年生肖酒的炒作氛围,应该会有所降低。”蔡学飞分析称。 截至1月5日,贵州茅台收涨4.41%,股价重新站上1800元,报收1801元,总市值22624亿元。 中国网客户端 国家重点新闻网站,9语种权威发布 |
