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.
查干湖鱼香四海 渔家姐妹新年卖鱼忙****** (新春走基层)查干湖鱼香四海 渔家姐妹新年卖鱼忙 中新网松原1月8日电 (高龙安)晚上的查干湖渔场灯火通明，曲丽杰和伙计们要在这里选出二百条二十来斤的大鱼，趁新鲜清理干净，再装进保温箱，赶在第二天早上第一班物流装车发货。 查干湖位于松原市，是吉林省最大的天然湖泊，位列中国十大淡水湖之一。查干湖冬捕闻名于世，当地渔业和旅游业因此发展迅速。这个冬捕季，一网“头鱼”拍出了1699999元的高价。 曲丽杰是一位“90后”渔家姑娘，和姐姐曲丽敏从小生活在查干湖畔。十年前，曲丽杰大学毕业后选择返乡创业，和家人一起经营鱼馆生意。 现在，曲丽杰在新开发的北湖区域开了一家新店，足够三四百人同时用餐，最近一个月是她最忙的时候。“我每天早上4点起床查订单，7点开始装车发快递，中午起锅炖鱼迎接客人，晚上去渔场选鱼。”  曲丽杰展示一条30多斤的大鱼。 受访者供图查干湖的胖头鱼最为有名，吃法多样，鱼头可以做剁椒鱼头，鱼身能酱炖和包饺子，鱼尾煎着吃最有味。十几斤的鱼销量最好，一条足够五六人吃，三十来斤的大鱼有一米长，绝对是抢手的稀罕货。 曲丽杰说，订鱼的客户大多来自北京、河北、山东、吉林等地。近几年，广东、海南等地的订单也逐渐增多。“往广东发一单的费用将近300元，但客人就认这一口，宁可多花点钱。” 姐姐曲丽敏开店时间比曲丽杰早，客户也更多，这几年她还经营起了住宿生意。曲丽敏说，今年接待了几批安徽、广西等地的客人，他们对冬捕很好奇，她经常起早带客人去现场观看。 早上的查干湖寒气逼人，北风一过，雪如烟尘四起，不少南方客人会趴在冰面上，拿手机拍拉网出鱼的瞬间。 曲丽敏说，南方客人让她刷新了不少知识点。“有一次客人要吃鳙鱼，我以前没听说过这种鱼，客人就指着池子里的胖头鱼说，这就是鳙鱼，我才知道胖头鱼又叫鳙鱼。去年有个广东大姐想吃用鳌花鱼煮的粥，我们没有这种做法，她就教我做，一尝味道真的很鲜。” 查干湖鱼畅销的背后是当地生态环境在逐年向好。这些年，通过吉林西部河湖连通、查干湖湿地保护与恢复等工程，实现了查干湖与松花江、嫩江的水体转换。当地坚持开展增殖放流，每年向湖中投放约1000万尾鱼苗，这些鱼能滤食水中藻类，起到净化水质的作用。 今年68岁的朱连贵是查干湖的退休渔民。他说，冬捕用的是6寸网眼的网，只打成鱼，小鱼进不了网，来年接着长，所以查干湖年年有鱼。这些年，湖里鱼肥了、水清了、水鸟也多了，朱连贵不能一一叫出这些水鸟的品种，他只知道没有好环境，就有没眼前的好光景。 曲家姐妹说，她们至少要忙到春节前，一天也不想休息，这种状态让她们极为充实，是她们心中真正的“向往的生活”。(完)
