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.
特写：香港渔农美食嘉年华开幕 千份海产半日售空****** 中新社香港12月25日电 题：香港渔农美食嘉年华开幕 千份海产半日售空 中新社记者 戴小橦 “像在逛大集，这里什么都有，可以提前准备年货，一次性购置齐全。”这是中新社记者在25日开幕的香港渔农美食嘉年华上，听到的前来采购的市民的普遍感受。 一连三日举行的香港第17届本地渔农美食嘉年华25日在旺角花墟公园开幕。现场有超过300个展销摊位，当中约200个摊位售卖香港本地出产的渔农产品。除此之外，还有多个香港本地食品、有机和健康食品及家居用品摊位。 “销量还好哈？你们今年主要是什么产品？”嘉年华筹委会主席刘坚伟在会场内询问着不同摊位今年的销情。他表示，受疫情影响，大会已经两年未有举办实体嘉年华，今年活动重新回归，市民反应热烈，清晨就有大批市民在场外排队等候，“今次活动是大湾区内最大规模的渔农嘉年华，希望进一步推广本地渔农产品，促进香港本地渔农业可持续发展。” 刘坚伟介绍，这次活动还设置了渔农业展览拍照区，市民可以一边对着各种神奇科技“打卡”拍照，一边听现场工作人员讲解现代化种植科技和渔业养殖系统。记者赶到拍照区时，工作人员正在介绍“组装式自动播种机械臂”，“以播600颗种子为例，传统人手作业需要花费20分钟，现在只用5分钟，可大幅度减轻人手进行重复性工作。” 走出拍照区，会场内亦有可以买到的“高科技蔬菜”。金谷农业科技有限公司负责人何敬贤将公司自动化水耕产出的蔬菜带到嘉年华市集和市民分享。“我们通过科技推广本地低碳高质食材，种植场采用先进自动化操作，通过我们自己设计、兴建和运营的系统，可以将蔬菜的色香味重新定义。”不少市民被水耕菜架吸引，何敬贤则现场开始介绍不同菜品的营养价值和烹饪方法。 “香港东龙洲优质养鱼场养殖计划下出产的东龙鲷，还有流浮山的净发蚝，元朗乌头也很不错……”鱼类统营处的摊位前人来人往，一派热闹景象。负责人叶显伟正热情介绍着各式各样的海鲜产品。他告诉记者，开幕首日准备了差不多1000份的货品，一上午基本全部卖光，正在联系补货。“市民支持本地海产品，都很早过来，人流和销量都比预想中来得好。” 在摊位另一边排队的黄先生和太太各自拉着一个购物小车，里面装满了龙虾、肉丸、生姜、萝卜等新鲜食材。“差不多已经花了1000块，我们是看哪里人多就到哪个摊位，跟着大多数人买总不会错。” 说话间，蔬菜统营处经理罗家豪拎着一个黄皮纸箱走过来，拿出“压箱底”的四个蓝色盒子给黄先生。“这是‘花腰仔’水稻米，是很稀有的品种，今天最后四盒了，再想要只能明天来买了。”罗家豪一边忙着招呼客人一边和记者介绍这款香港本地稻米，“有‘香草’味道哦，吃起来粒粒分明，我们希望可以凸显香港品牌，鼓励更多农户加入种植稻米。” “尝尝，这是陈皮姜，止咳化痰，健脾养胃。”记者在场内转了一圈，发现无论是干果零食还是虾米鱼干，大多摊位都放置了试吃拼盘。看到有市民经过，摊主便激动地打招呼，并拿起试吃品热情推荐。不少市民因为买得太多，小推车被塞到变形，斜拉起来里面的零食“刷刷”往外掉，他们索性调转车头，一边用手拉着布袋边缘，一边推着车子到下一个摊位队尾等待新一轮的采购。(完) （文图：赵筱尘 巫邓炎） [责编：天天中] 阅读剩余全文（）  视觉焦点
