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.
古往今来,为何“大家都爱汾酒”?****** 从古至今,酒都是中国人节礼之时不可或缺的重要一份子。无酒不成席、无酒不成礼,酒几乎见证了中国人一生中所有重要时刻。作为“中国酒魂”,汾酒始终是中国酒文化的见证者,一脉清香承载了历久弥香的时代记忆和历史记忆。在春节即将到来之际,汾酒发起了一场“大家都爱汾酒”的互动传播活动,开启了消费者与汾酒的双向奔赴。 在2022年的最后一天,汾酒联合网易哒哒共同推出《新年狂想计划·你是什么热爱型人格》H5,与数万网友开启美好心愿,共迎2023。而在春节来临之际,汾酒也将联合抖音平台进一步开展“大家都爱汾酒”抖音挑战赛活动,力邀消费者分享自己与汾酒的岁月往事。据悉,该活动将从1月25日持续至2月6日,参与方式:1月25日到2月6日期间抖音用户搜索#大家都爱汾酒话题,可通过手指比心手势触发“新年萌兔”贴纸,随机抽取“漂亮兔”“发财兔”“幸运兔”“快乐兔”,拍摄成短视频并发布即有机会赢取奖励。希望在春节元宵双节期间,重温汾酒与消费者的甜蜜回忆。 千百年前,汾酒是备受君王宠爱的宫廷御酒 作为中华五千年文明进程的同行者、见证者、记录者,汾酒的酿造史延绵千年而未断,从中国最早酿酒器具——小口尖底瓮,到首批国家非物质文化遗产——杏花村汾酒酿制技艺,汾酒一路见证了中国白酒的起源与发展。 产于山西省汾阳市杏花村的汾酒,早在1500年前就已经是宫廷御酒。只不过当时的它,还被称为“汾清”,在《二十四史》中,武成帝高湛劝饮汾清的故事被认为是汾酒1500年名酒史的最佳例证。而这也不仅是汾酒迄今为止最早、最明确的文字记载,也是中国白酒在史书上的最早记载。 从武成帝高湛缘起,汾酒开启了称雄酒坛千百年的辉煌历史。在唐代,汾酒更是迎来了自己的高光时刻,唐太宗李世民不仅在起义前选择用陈年汾酒祭祀天地,激励出征勇士,还在重返龙城后再次用汾酒大宴群臣;一代女皇武则天在饮过竹叶青美酒后,即兴作诗“酒中浮竹叶,杯上写芙蓉”;晚唐诗人杜牧挥笔写下的“借问酒家何处有?牧童遥指杏花村”为汾酒创造了绵延千年而不绝的美誉…… 可以说,皇宫贵族、名人雅士们的追捧,构筑了汾酒长达1500年的名酒史,也成为“大家都爱汾酒”的最早起源。 百余年前,汾酒是畅销中外的中国名酒 汾酒从“旧时王谢”飞入“寻常百姓家”,可能要再往后细数百年。历经宋、元、明、清几代传承与发展,汾酒确立了“清蒸二次清”,“固态地缸分离发酵”的酿造工艺,也就是入选“首批国家非物质文化遗产”的杏花村汾酒酿制技艺。 依靠这一技术,汾酒人酿造出了在1915年一举夺得“巴拿马太平洋万国博览会”国际甲等大奖章的山西汾酒。由此,汾酒声名从中国传至海外,再次开启了属于自己的名酒时代。 在1952年的第一届全国评酒会上,经过上层人物钟爱、解放前全国市场及百姓口碑、风格纯正和品质稳定性及悠久传奇的历史文化等“四大影响力”考核,汾酒成功被评为四大名酒之一。而后,在历届中国名酒评比中,汾酒均蝉联该称号,成为名副其实的“国酒之源、清香之祖、文化之根”。 从1952年至今,逐步累积的市场口碑、经久不变的酿造工艺、愈加深厚的历史底蕴,不断为汾酒的发展筑起了牢固的护城河,让汾酒成为一代又一代消费者心中无可替代的存在。 这个春节,汾酒希望借助一场“大家都爱汾酒”的互动活动,号召消费者勇敢示爱,积极讲述属于自己与汾酒的故事、热爱汾酒的理由,希望以此拉近与消费者之间的距离,共同创造出属于彼此的新春回忆。 关于汾酒,你又有着怎样的记忆呢?(来源:中国新闻社微信公众号)
