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.
探访后疫情时代下的内蒙古三级医疗机构：分级诊疗 收治扩容****** 中新网呼和浩特1月8日电 题：探访后疫情时代下的内蒙古三级医疗机构：分级诊疗 收治扩容 中新网记者 张林虎 近日，国家卫健委发布公告，自2023年1月8日起，对新型冠状病毒感染实施“乙类乙管”，这无疑对基层公共卫生服务提出了新要求。 岁末年初，为确保新冠病毒感染者就诊需求得到满足，记者探访发现，内蒙古自治区三级医疗机构以生命护佑生命，医护人员24小时守护患者，以“满格”状态应对挑战，全力当好“生命守门人”。  图为医护人员帮助患者进行雾化治疗。 张鹏飞 摄“急诊严格执行分级诊疗，经接诊医护评估后，病情危重、生命体征不稳定的患者第一时间送入抢救室开展相应治疗，生命体征相对平稳的患者会在医护人员的引导下排队候诊。”8日，内蒙古医科大学附属医院急诊科副主任牛君义说。 作为内蒙古最早建立的综合性医院之一，内蒙古医科大学附属医院为应对就诊高峰，缓解患者就医压力，采取分级分类诊疗，通过扩容发热门诊和急诊数量的方式，进一步提高救治效率。 “在急诊收治患者过程中，我们首先成立了急诊重症病房，目前重症病房设有大约120张床位，对符合住院条件的重症病人及时收治。”内蒙古医科大学附属医院院长赵海平说，对于亚重症病房，包括呼吸科、神经外科、神经内科、儿科等专业设有近100张床位，满足亚重症患者的救治需求。 与此同时，该院还设置转换ICU病房，床位约120张，“如果仍不能满足患者救治需求，医院会开通储备床位。”赵海平说，在人员配置方面，医院组建了以ICU为主的医疗团队，辐射到各个专科病区。  图为放射科医生为患者进行肺部CT检查。 张鹏飞 摄赵海平说，针对急诊重症病人人数增加的情况，该院启动了“清零行动”，按照国家卫健委、国家疫情防控指挥部的要求，及时将急诊留观的患者收治入院，以保障急诊救治能力，确保广大患者得到及时诊疗。 “上臂向上举，呼气、吸气……”连日来，这样的话语，呼和浩特市妇幼保健院放射科主任吴杰每天会重复上百遍。 作为临床医生诊断的“火眼金睛”，放射科的医技人员不得不24小时在岗。“为了让患者在最短时间内可以进行检查，拿到结果，我们都提前到岗，中午放弃休息时间，每天加班加点工作。”吴杰说。 呼和浩特市妇幼保健院医务科主任贾淑婧告诉记者，针对近期患者的增多，该院加强全院医护新型冠状病毒感染医疗救治培训，同时通过制定患者相关处置预案、增设重症病房、整合医疗资源、救治队伍储备、优化急危重症患者救治流程等多项措施，最大限度释放医院的救治潜能，着力保健康、防重症、降低病死率。  图为患者有序就诊。 高俊维 摄“发完烧之后，咳嗽了好几天，今天过来拍个片。”回民区居民武瑞平已经年逾耄耋，前段时间感染新型冠状病毒后，持续不断咳嗽，随即来到回民区防治医院进行肺部CT检测。 连日来，针对老年人感染新冠病毒之后，容易引发基础疾病从而加重病情的情况，呼和浩特市回民区防治医院为辖区老人开展了免费的肺部CT检测筛查。 “筛查后，我们会根据每一位患者的结果，提出一些中西医结合的治疗方案，患者可以自行选择治疗方式和治疗地点。”呼和浩特市回民区防治医院院长高俊维表示，每天8点半到18点，医院会给80周岁以上老人免费做肺部CT筛查，会一直持续到春节前。 记者了解到，为充分满足发热患者的就医需求，内蒙古多家医院还开通了在线问诊通道，提供健康评估、居家健康指导、心理疏导、药品配送等服务。(完)
