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.
广西：医生“网友”为居家新冠患者暖心答疑****** 晚上7点的广西医科大学第一附属医院住院楼灯火通明，呼吸与危重症医学科主任医师王可结束在病房的工作后，回到休息室后第一时间掏出手机，认真地回复患者的线上问诊。 随着疫情防控政策优化调整，居家感染者的求医问药需求正大幅增长。自12月16日至今，王可在线上提供的问诊服务已超过1300人次。“不是每个人都有医生朋友，但可以有医生‘网友’。”王可说，刚刚过去的一下午就有近百条提问，趁着等待食堂送餐的空档，可以抓紧时间多为几名“网友”答疑。 面对如此大量的问诊需求，如何做到准确、高效的回复？王可及时梳理了患者的提问，发现大部分的问题集中在退烧药的具体使用、鼻塞和咽痛等不适症状如何缓解等方面。他针对这些常见问题整理了一套图文并茂的回复模版，再根据个性化的情况给出特别提醒。比如，在回答一名自述“有成人蚕豆病”的患者问诊发烧该使用什么药物时，他特别叮嘱要避免使用对乙酰氨基酚。 王可说，每次回复问诊都是一次医学科普的好机会，既可以让患者及时掌握“行或不行”、如何处置，也希望他们多知道一些“为什么”。
王可提供的线上问诊服务的截图。（受访者供图） 除了答疑，及时甄别出须尽快就医的患者也是线上问诊答疑的重要环节。就在前天晚上，王可收到一名新冠患者在线问诊，称“去年有急性心肌炎入院……今天尿非常少，眼睛水肿，心率上到100多，怎么办？”他当即回复：“建议尽快去医院，不要有耽搁，今晚就去。”收到建议后，该患者随即前往医院，目前正住院接受进一步治疗。 针对近期一些医院发热门诊出现排长队等“看病难”问题，各地正着力优化流程、扩容医疗资源、增加诊室和医务力量。其中，互联网医院正发挥着越来越重要的作用。广西壮族自治区卫生健康委员会副主任李勇强介绍，广西已制定阳性患者分级分类治疗策略，无症状感染者和轻型病例一般采取居家治疗，同时要求有条件的医疗机构积极发展线上医疗，通过远程指导、互联网医疗等线上+线下相结合的方式，为居家人员提供康复指导和心理支持。 王可所供职医院的互联网医院平台近日上线“核酸阳性在线诊疗区”，分为儿童诊疗区、成人诊疗区、孕产妇诊疗区、护理咨询区，由专业医生进行专业指导。该院相关负责人介绍，患者在日常生活中或居家治疗期间，有任何与新冠病毒感染相关的问题都可以通过在线诊疗区免费向医生咨询。 今年4月，王可曾主动请缨前往上海支援抗疫。作为广西援沪医疗五队医疗组的组长，他肩负起上海一家医院的救治工作，那里收治的许多新冠病毒感染者都有高危风险因素，包括有基础疾病、高龄等，他与医疗队成员都积累了不少经验。 晚饭过后，王可又投入到线上问诊服务中。“王医生，谢谢您这么晚还回复我”“您也要注意休息增强免疫力”……结束问诊前收到病患“网友”的祝福，也让王可倍感温暖。（记者黄凯莹） 天天彩票地图 |
