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.
德国政府确定新防长人选****** 新华社北京1月18日电 德国总理朔尔茨17日确认，鲍里斯·皮斯托留斯将出任国防部长，接替前一天辞职的克里斯蒂娜·兰布雷希特。 在乌克兰危机持续、西方盟友施压德国向乌克兰提供“豹”式主战坦克的背景下，皮斯托留斯履新面临挑战。 恰当人选 朔尔茨17日宣布，下萨克森州内政部长皮斯托留斯将出任防长，他是执掌这一关键部门的“恰当人选”。 朔尔茨说，皮斯托留斯是一名“非常杰出的政治家”，拥有丰富行政经验，多年来参与制定安全政策。“他有能力、魄力和气度，正是领导军队渡过这个变革时期的恰当人选。” 德新社等媒体报道，这项任命“令人意外”，皮斯托留斯并非这一职位候选人中的领跑者。在联邦内阁中，防长一职“不好干”，终结了不少人的政治生涯。不过，皮斯托留斯现年62岁，这对他而言可能不是问题。 皮斯托留斯法学专业出身，上世纪90年代步入政坛前做过律师。他曾出任下萨克森州奥斯纳布吕克市长，2013年起出任州内政部长，与朔尔茨同属社会民主党。 兰布雷希特16日辞职以前，朔尔茨内阁的16名部长为“8男8女”，而皮斯托留斯这名男性防长上任将打破内阁的性别平衡。暂时不清楚朔尔茨是否会按照2021年竞选时的承诺，继续保持内阁“性别平等”。 德国副总理兼经济和气候保护部长、绿党联席主席罗伯特·哈贝克17日早些时候说，他希望朔尔茨能够履行诺言。 社民党、绿党及自由民主党2021年12月达成联合组阁协议。 应对难题 德国政府发言人斯特芬·黑贝施特赖特说，皮斯托留斯定于19日宣誓就任。 德新社报道，皮斯托留斯一上任就将应对向乌克兰提供军事援助的敏感议题，还将推动德军武器和装备现代化升级。 俄罗斯去年2月对乌克兰发起特别军事行动后，朔尔茨宣布设立1000亿欧元防务专项资金，用于德军武器和装备现代化升级。这项计划在兰布雷希特担任防长期间未能顺利推进，如今落在皮斯托留斯肩上。 英国政府14日宣布，将在数周内向乌克兰提供14辆英制“挑战者2”式主战坦克及其他武器。法新社等媒体报道，英国是首个向乌克兰提供西方制造主战坦克的国家。 朔尔茨政府正在权衡是否向乌克兰提供德制“豹”式坦克，德国政坛就是否向乌方提供这种重型武器仍有分歧。朔尔茨认为，德国不应单独向乌克兰提供重型武器，他会同北大西洋公约组织盟友协商。不过，乌克兰和一些西方盟友近期就此向德国施压。 波兰总统安杰伊·杜达17日出席世界经济论坛一场讨论时说：“我们希望并且正在争取为乌克兰赢得更多支持。我们希望一些伙伴、盟友向乌克兰提供坦克。” 杜达11日说，波兰打算向乌克兰提供“豹”式主战坦克。不过，“豹”式坦克由德国制造，波方需要获得德方同意才能交付给乌方。(包雪琳) (来源：新华网) （文图：赵筱尘 巫邓炎） [责编：天天中] 阅读剩余全文（）  视觉焦点
