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.
五年独自坚守 小站铁警的别样春节****** (新春走基层)五年独自坚守 小站铁警的别样春节 中新网河池1月17日电 题：五年独自坚守 小站铁警的别样春节 作者 孙赟飞 黄勇盛 今年58岁的覃柳宜是南宁铁路公安局柳州公安处金城江车站派出所六甲警务区的驻站民警，警务区只有他一人，今年是他独自坚守这里的第5个春运，也是他从警34年来在小站警务区工作的第24个春运。5年来，覃柳宜安全守护六甲警务区47公里的铁路线，为铁路运输安全添一份安心。 8时许，覃柳宜像往常一样，换上警服骑着单车开始线路巡查工作。六甲警务区管辖黔桂铁路上的岜伦、六甲、大漠、纳朝4个车站共47公里的线路，线路大多穿山越岭，途径的乡镇、村屯较多，人员流动和管理难度较大，沿线治安管理情况较为复杂，线路管理工作难度不小。 当巡查到小三峡景区一段线路时，覃柳宜发现线路防护栅栏出现破损，便立刻拿出手机拨打电话向铁路工务部门汇报情况。“喂，工长，我是派出所覃柳宜，我今天到小三峡这里，发现防防护网破了个洞，麻烦你们派人拿工具来加固。” 2017年10月，覃柳宜刚到六甲警务区驻站时，出现铁路防护网因破损未及时修补，铁路沿线村民的小孩跑到铁路边玩耍。为此，覃柳宜没少费工夫防止孩童翻越护网进入铁路影响列车安全运行。他每天步行40000步，用脚步丈量铁轨，20天走完辖区内的线路，累计巡线200公里，并将发现的68处线路隐患逐一登记造册，通报铁路相关单位及时进行修复，然后再现场确认修复完毕予以销号。 有多年刑侦经验的覃柳宜深知，铁路运输的平安，跟沿线民众的法制意识水平息息相关。为预防沿线路外伤亡事故，他日复一日走村入户，宣传铁路法律法规，讲解铁路安全常识，提醒村民不要图方便上道行走，也不要让大牲畜进入线路。 覃柳宜巡线经过村屯时，拿出随身携带的铁路安全法治宣传资料分发给民众，普及铁路安全法律知识。 “老板娘，你跟孩子讲，不要接近铁路，不要在铁路上面玩耍。”覃柳宜到小卖部宣传说道。 看到有小朋友经过，覃柳宜上前向他们做起了铁路安全宣传：“小朋友，要注意安全，不要上铁路线玩耍。”小朋友们围着他回答道：“好的，警察叔叔。”  覃柳宜向沿线村屯小朋友宣传铁路安全知识。 夏阳春 摄在六甲警务区驻站5年来，覃柳宜和辖区护路队员认真开展线路治安工作，实现了无危及行车安全案(事)件、无铁路交通事故、无因治安问题引发的行车事故、无大牲畜上道、无拆割盗案件零发生的目标。 临近中午，覃柳宜完成上午的巡线工作回到警务区，妻子曾春玲为其准备了午饭。覃柳宜放下警用装备，洗好手走进厨房，帮忙把菜端上桌，夫妻俩边吃边聊。 “在这里生活比较艰苦，工作很忙。我理解他的工作，夫妻三十多年了，一直都是这样过来的，我和女儿都支持他。希望他自己在这里照顾好自己，保重身体。过年了，我们会过来这里陪着他，一家人团圆。”曾春玲说。 “我和爱人结婚33年，陪她的时间相当短，没有尽到丈夫的责任，对女儿也尽不到一个父亲的责任，很是愧疚。但是，这条黔桂线路一直牵挂着我的心，作为一名警察，一定要维护好这条铁路的安全，这是我的第一要务。”覃柳宜说。  覃柳宜和妻子在贴好春联和福字的警务区门口合影。 夏阳春 摄吃完饭，夫妻俩在警务区门口贴春联和福字，让小小的警务区增添了过年的气氛，感觉更加温馨。(完)
