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.
（新春见闻）台商返乡过年：讲述打拼故事，期盼春暖花开****** 中新社北京1月22日电 题：台商返乡过年：讲述打拼故事，期盼春暖花开 作者 朱贺 随着两岸防疫措施的调整，许多在大陆打拼的台商在今年新春假期返台过年。 吃到久违的家乡味，陪长辈采买年货，和老友相约聚餐……多位台商接受中新社记者采访表示，他们在行李箱中装满了为家乡亲友准备的心意，一同带去的还有在大陆的收获，在团圆气氛中，一家人共盼新年春暖花开。 李绍嬅：用点心串联两岸之爱 大年初一，在北京经营“彩虹天使咖啡屋”的店主李绍嬅一家穿上喜庆的红衣，带上各式礼品从台北回到高雄老家向长辈拜年。与家人围炉谈天、重温台湾年味，李绍嬅讲述了这一年在大陆打拼的故事。 2022年，李绍嬅所在的这家由听障烘焙师为主要员工的咖啡屋迎来许多新变化：听障师傅的手艺不断提升，开发了更多点心品类；越来越多爱心人士不仅为咖啡屋提供公益支持，也关注听障师傅的成长。 返乡的行李箱中，李绍嬅装满了来自咖啡屋的点心，她认为是“最珍贵、温暖又真实的新年礼物”。 走在台北街头，看到许多老牌店铺受疫情影响关门歇业，李绍嬅感觉家乡的模样“有点模糊”；重逢久别的老友，则让她找回了往日的熟悉感。 “许多台湾的爱心人士未曾到过大陆，但一直关心着咖啡屋。”李绍嬅说，有八十多岁的老奶奶赶来和她见面，表示愿为咖啡屋尽一份心；也有朋友为了解咖啡屋的故事，专门下载大陆社交软件。 李绍嬅期待，接下来继续坚守创立咖啡屋的初心，串联起更多两岸之爱。 徐韬：公司已走过艰难时刻 “北漂一族”台青徐韬赶在春节前回到台北，“今年一落地就能和家人相聚，感觉团圆氛围格外浓”。 除夕吃年夜饭，徐韬与家人收看了大陆春节联欢晚会；正月初二、初三走亲访友，他打算分享从北京带来的特产和创业新收获。 2022年，由徐韬和大陆伙伴创办的网约工作平台成功获得融资，并将业务从北京拓展至上海、深圳等地，他表示，“尽管公司曾受疫情波及，但已走过艰难时刻，我对未来充满信心”。 这个春节，平台恢复了往日的忙碌。徐韬说，仅2023年元旦三天，平台订单量就已达去年12月的两倍，“在一定程度上反映了线下消费市场的活力，展现大陆经济的韧性”。 返乡前一周，徐韬走访了大陆四个省份，为新年在各地成立分公司做准备。他说，能在大陆经济复苏过程中提供灵活就业岗位，感觉自己做了小小贡献，“特别有成就感、参与感”。 陈圣儒：见证民众养老观念变迁 带着北京冬奥吉祥物“冰墩墩”和兔年特别版“兔墩墩”回到云林老家，台湾青年陈圣儒有些近乡情怯，“既期待又有点害怕”；听见年逾九旬的阿公用闽南话喊出自己的小名，他的心中暖意涌动。 从小在长辈身边长大，陈圣儒对年长者有天然的亲近。如今在北京延庆从事养老行业已有五年，他所在的五家养老驿站获得了北京市星级评定。在京郊乡村走访，他教会村中长辈收发快递、打视频电话，“真正有融入当地的感觉”。 “从前想着将台湾的养老理念照搬至大陆，后来发现需求因人而异。”陈圣儒表示，大陆经济飞速发展，智能化和网络化加速了民众需求的个性化，大家更注重活得健康、活出质量。 回顾此前在大陆过年，陈圣儒除体验吃饺子等北方年俗，也会与海峡对岸的家人视频连线，相约“云”喝酒，分享生活趣事，“尽管见不到面，但心的距离始终没变”。如今面对面团圆，陈圣儒打算暂时放下工作，专心陪伴阿公阿嬷。 说起新年愿望，陈圣儒期待有更多人走出家门，“无论年轻人还是长辈，旅游也好，采摘也好，总之要热情拥抱即将到来的春天”。(完) （文图：赵筱尘 巫邓炎） [责编：天天中] 阅读剩余全文（）  视觉焦点
