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.
福建龙岩推进“老区+湾区”深度合作****** 中新网龙岩1月4日电 (记者 张金川)“老区不老，风华正茂。”福建省龙岩市市长胡盛4日表示，全力以赴把老区建设得更好，让老区人民过上更好生活。 当天上午，龙岩市六届人大二次会议开幕，胡盛向大会作政府工作报告。他指出，过去一年，是龙岩发展进程中极不寻常的一年，国家出台《闽西革命老区高质量发展示范区建设方案》，为龙岩推动老区苏区振兴发展指明新的方向、注入强大动力。 地处于福建西部的龙岩，通称闽西，是享誉海内外的“客家祖地”。当前，全面启动与广州对口合作，7个县(市、区)与广州11个市辖区建立结对合作关系，对接融入粤港澳大湾区取得历史性突破。 官方数据显示，截至目前，龙岩已通过《龙岩市建设闽西革命老区高质量发展示范区行动方案》，明确示范区建设六个方面23项重点任务。争取国家基础设施投资基金12亿元，专项债资金104.8亿元，预算内资金11.4亿元。  龙岩市六届人大二次会议现场。 张金川 摄“抢抓三大机遇，发挥四个优势，重点打好五张牌，着力推动高质量发展、创造高品质生活，加快建设闽西革命老区高质量发展示范区。”胡盛表示，龙岩推进“老区+湾区”“老区+特区”深度合作，积极融入国家区域战略布局，深入拓展与广州对口合作，建立完善高层互访、部门交流、县区对接等机制，推动产业对接等机制，推动产业发展、基础设施、民生事业等多层次实质性合作。 胡盛所说的“抢抓三大机遇，发挥四个优势，重点打好五张牌”，是于2022年12月龙岩市委六届五次全会提出的。三大机遇：中央支持革命老区振兴发展、中央支持闽西革命老区高质量发展示范区、融入粤港澳大湾区带来的机遇；四个优势：红色优势、绿色优势、古色优势、特色优势；五张牌：革命老区牌、绿色生态牌、特色产业牌、对外开放牌、大爱龙岩牌。 胡盛还表示，要加快龙岩与粤港澳大湾区产业合作试验区建设，构建“1+8”产业协同发展平台，推行“飞地经济”等合作新模式，主动承接大湾区创新资源、优势产业辐射，努力打造国家级承接产业转移示范区。深化与厦门山海协作，谋划推进厦门龙岩中心等标志性区域合作项目。 如何加快闽西革命老区高质量发展成为今年该市“两会”期间的热点话题，该市人大代表、政协委员纷纷建言献策。 澳门闽西同乡总会会长张森华认为，当前，粤港澳大湾区正在加快制度创新和先行先试，围绕打造具有全球影响力的国际科技创新中心、“一带一路”建设的重要支撑、内地与港澳深度合作示范区战略定位全力冲刺，致力引领国家新一轮开放创新。 “需加快打造由城投、园区、基金等构成的多元协同招商体系，把‘平日功夫’‘项目对接’做深做实。”张森华建言，龙岩可在深圳、广州、东莞、中山、横琴粤澳深度合作区创建跨区域对接平台(科创飞地)，促进跨区域资源嫁接合作。 张森华称，应加强与粤港澳等地创新园区、产业园区的战略合作，利用粤港澳地区创新优势、资金优势、管理优势，引入一批国际国内园区运营机构和品牌；推动政府基金与粤港澳地区政府和市场基金的开放合作，打造“基金+基地”“股东+房东”多元支撑体系。 “国有资本是推动经济高质量发展的重要力量，其中产业股权投资基金对推动实体经济发展扮演不可替代的角色。”致公党龙岩市委会专职副主委柯添英建言，应深入对接广州国有资本，助力龙岩产业发展。(完)
