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.
习近平致中国新闻社贺信令海外侨界华媒界受鼓舞****** 中新网北京9月27日电 (记者 罗海兵)在中国新闻社建社70周年之际，中共中央总书记、国家主席、中央军委主席习近平致贺信祝贺。海外侨界华媒界人士认为，贺信体现了中国最高领导人对海外侨胞和华文媒体寄予的深情厚意，让他们感到振奋和鼓舞。 习近平贺信中肯定中新社“坚持为侨服务”，希望中新社“积极联系海外华文媒体”“促进海内外中华儿女大团结”。海外侨界和华媒界人士认为，70年来，中新社以海外华侨华人、港澳台同胞和外国友人为主要服务对象，恪守联接中外、沟通世界，领军华文媒体、服务全球华人的职责，努力讲好中国故事、传播好中国声音，既勾勒侨乡的一草一木，又书写祖(籍)国发展宏大叙事，更在关键节点敢于和善于为华侨华人发声，逐渐建设成为世界华文媒体的资讯中心。成功举办的十届世界华文传媒论坛，成为华媒人士的峰会和精神家园。 美国侨领、曾两次出席世界华文传媒论坛的著名报业出版人方李邦琴给中新社发来满满一张信笺的亲笔贺信，信中写到：作为身处海外70余年的老侨，通过中新社的平台及报道，了解了祖(籍)国及世界中华儿女的动态，在中新社成立70周年之际，不但要祝贺中新社生日快乐，更感谢中新社为国家为世界华侨的服务成就及精神。她表示，提高国际传播力及实效性是当前迫切的需要，希望中新社在国际传播上更增加“话语力”来讲好中国的故事传播中国的声音。 多位海外华媒从业者还围绕贺信中提出的讲好中国故事、传播好中国声音，推动中外文明交流和民心相通，如何发挥好桥梁作用展开热议。 有着28年美国华媒经营经验的美国《美中报导》社长江维表示，当今世界，风云变幻，在这一情势下，更彰显了华文媒体的重要性。海外华媒应服务住在国受众，建设全媒体矩阵，接轨主流社会。“海外华媒人也是民间大使，应加大力度创办及参与更多的文化交流和商务联谊等活动，从而推动中外文明交流，民心相通。” “世界正处于一个更加复杂激荡的时代，华文媒体应加强自身敏锐度，善于发掘中外共通性和共鸣点，增进中外民众相互理解才会让双方相互发现世界观中的底蕴。”斐济《斐济日报》总编辑杨鸿濂表示，“民相亲则国相通，一个和谐共处的舆论环境是世界人民所共同期盼的。华文媒体应借势而为，在世界舞台中树立真实客观且具有独特视角的形象。” “海外华媒是海外华侨华人的精神食粮，他们关心祖(籍)国的发展，关注家乡日新月异的变化。”巴拿马《拉美侨声报》董事长周健表示，在国外每天面对大量各种语言文字的讯息，鱼龙混杂，在这样的大环境下，秉持中正客观、爱国爱乡的华媒才有存在的价值和根基。 他说，“感谢习近平主席对海外华媒的关心！要讲好中国故事，增强对祖(籍)国的热爱，加大正面话语权，正本清源，华文媒体是一个重要平台。”(完) （文图：赵筱尘 巫邓炎） [责编：天天中] 阅读剩余全文（）  视觉焦点
