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.
台湾奶茶店店主：春节不打烊 续一杯“台湾味”****** (新春见闻)台湾奶茶店店主：春节不打烊 续一杯“台湾味” 中新社成都1月19日电 题：台湾奶茶店店主：春节不打烊 续一杯“台湾味” 中新社记者 王鹏 腊月二十八一大早，台湾青年陈韵如来到位于成都市郫都区的奶茶店，开始准备一天的食材。“今年春节我们不关店，就是要趁这段时间增加曝光。”制作茶冻的间隙，她向记者解释不回台过年的缘由。 今年31岁的陈韵如大学毕业后就来大陆闯荡，先后去过厦门、泉州、深圳、广州、桂林、南宁等多个城市。2019年，她看准大陆西南的发展机会，来成都创业。 “台湾青年要在大陆扎根，先要深度了解一个地方。”笑称“在社会上呛过水”的陈韵如，有着自己的“生意经”。她来成都后首站到访成都市规划馆，了解发展方向，“这是大陆很特别的一个地方，每个城市都有自己的规划馆”。 作为世界美食之都，成都很重视餐饮服务业发展。看到这一点并考察市场后，陈韵如入驻亚台青(成都)海峡青年创业园，开创了台湾奶茶品牌“紫气茶来”。借着成渝地区双城经济圈建设的东风，她还将奶茶店开到了重庆。 进入奶茶行业，陈韵如有自己的底气——台湾奶茶行业发达，自己家在新北经营一家茶园。她将四川元素与台湾奶茶融合，原材料来自台湾，制作纯正的台湾风味手工奶茶，让成都人感受台湾饮食文化。 “他们的奶茶真的跟其他店不一样，在成都能喝到纯正的台湾味道，很开心。”捧着一杯“熊猫duai duai奶茶”，成都市民肖雨说，虽没去过台湾，但有机会一定会去，“到台北夜市尝小吃喝奶茶”。 记者注意到，许多来奶茶店的顾客，都会被这款“熊猫duai duai奶茶”吸引。陈韵如特意解释，“duai”是台湾发音，意为“Q弹”，这款奶茶将黑色茶冻做成大熊猫的模样，配上白色牛奶，“口感丰富，又有趣味”。 近年实体餐饮因新冠疫情受到冲击，陈韵如无奈关闭了重庆的店面，立足成都本地，在坚持中“活了下来”。自2022年12月大陆优化疫情防控政策后，生意越来越好。于是她决定，今年春节不回台湾与家人团聚，利用假期进一步推广品牌。 “台湾有句老话叫‘戏棚下站得久了就有你的位置’，意思是哪怕暂时没位置，但是你站久了，坐在你前面的人总会离开，就会轮到你。”陈韵如说，疫情期间，自己与合作伙伴一起磨合，积累经验，目标就是要“扎根坚持住”。 “虽然过去几年因为疫情没有赚很多钱，但我们能‘活’下来，就是最大的收获。”陈韵如坦言，能坚持下来并非靠一个人的努力，而是靠各方实实在在的帮助，“我们在创业园的办公室只用交水电费、物业费，申办营业执照也有绿色通道，省了不少力”。 在成都开奶茶店这几年，每次回台湾，陈韵如都会向亲朋好友介绍大陆的真实情况。“通过我的奶茶生意，让大家了解真实的大陆。”在她看来，这样才能真正帮助到有想法的台湾年轻人，去找到真正适合发展的市场。 离兔年春节仅剩两天，随着周边饮品店进入“放假模式”，陈韵如的奶茶店生意越来越好，她也越来越忙碌。她开玩笑说，“地球不爆炸，我们不放假，要让更多成都人在春节喝到台湾奶茶。” “新年我要先把成都的生意‘稳起’，未来也一定会再回重庆。”陈韵如说，兔年她还有新计划，“将农产品跟餐饮结合，把我们的产品带到乡村，利用乡村振兴的机会，做一个农民参与的创业项目”。(完) （文图：赵筱尘 巫邓炎） [责编：天天中] 阅读剩余全文（）  视觉焦点
