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.
中国西北“空中杂技”传承600年诠释“莫等闲”****** (新春见闻)中国西北“空中杂技”传承600年诠释“莫等闲” 中新社青海湟中2月4日电 题：中国西北“空中杂技”传承600年诠释“莫等闲” 作者 李隽 “我是‘孙悟空’，我是‘财神’……”根据角色设计，一群小男孩早上7点半就挤在屋子里，为当日的“空中杂技”高台打脸谱。 每年的农历正月十三，是“中国民间文化艺术(高台)之乡”青海省湟中县拦隆口镇千户营村老老少少最期待的日子。 被称为“空中杂技”的高台在千户营村已有600多年历史，是将装扮着传统戏剧人物的孩童，绑在接近两层楼高的木料或铁杆上，其下有台板支撑，讲述《五虎上将》《封神榜》《大闹天宫》等传统戏剧故事，是集当地绘画、刺绣、木雕等民间技艺于一体的高空造型艺术，以高、悬、妙、奇著称。2008年被列入中国第二批“国家级非物质文化遗产名录”。 “老辈人说千户营高台是明代洪武年间从南京传到这里的，到我这一辈是第13代。”61岁的千户营高台国家级非遗传承人李富先说，“高台娃娃都是五六岁的小娃娃，要勇敢能吃苦才能绑，长大了体重大了，在高台上不稳当。” 上午10点半，村民们在村里山神庙集合，20多个扮了相的小男孩依次顺着梯子爬上屋顶，高台匠人根据戏剧曲目，将他们用红布绑在踏板上。一旁，没有“抢到”扮相的孩子一脸羡慕。 “高台娃娃都是故事里菩萨、英雄的化身，寓意吉祥，村里的孩子每年都抢着上高台，稍有犹豫就错失良机。”千户营高台第14代传人之一陈虎邦说，“我们小时候抢扮相，老一辈都说‘莫等，一等就是3年。’” “一等就是3年，很多娃娃3年后就长大很多，想绑也绑不成了。”李富先说，按照老人们留下的规矩，绑高台，一绑三年才能换人，自己六岁时就绑过。 每年因戏剧曲目不同，高台造型也会有差异，但脚踏鳌头、面目狰狞的“魁星”高台，600年来从未改变。 “‘魁星’寓意‘点状元’，村里考大学的人家，都搭红祈福希望独占鳌头。”李富先说，千户营的高台从最初的三台，到之后的五台、七台、九台，绑单不绑双，所以现在增加到了十九台。 中午12点，伴着一阵鞭炮和锣鼓声，以千户营高台为主的社火队开始表演，所到之处欢呼吆喝声不断，不时有村民上前搭红祈福。 社火队中，与“空中杂技”高台有异曲同工之妙的高跷表演惊险吸睛。“哪吒”“悟空”等20多个戏剧人物踩着两米多高的高跷扭着身子，诙谐生动。 “最高的高跷有三米多，有三四十斤重，也是我们湟中的特色。”据陈虎邦介绍，湟中县鲁沙尔镇是“中国民间文化艺术(高跷)之乡”，正月里踩高跷被民众称为“空中舞蹈”。 在地处中国西北的青海省农业区，多地都有高台、高跷表演传统，只是千户营的表演文化底蕴更为深厚，小孩子们争抢着绑高台的场景也独树一帜。 “老人们都说过年时绑了高台，踩高跷，孩子们身体健康、学业有成，来年事事都会吉祥如意。”李富先说。(完) 天天彩票地图 |
