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.
百余指标,标定兴武之路****** 打造党管武装、智慧动员等22个建设品牌,开展军地联合指挥机构规范、党支部标准化建设等6个试点,大学生入伍比例稳定在90%以上……年终岁尾,河南省军区党委用党的二十大精神指导筹划新年度工作并科学论证编制第二个“三年规划”,对标对表上级工作部署,制定涵盖37个重点工作的106项具体工作指标,压实强军兴武的责任担当。 “高标准的工作谋划和清晰的目标规划,一定程度决定着单位建设发展的方向、层次和质量。”省军区政委徐元鸿告诉记者,2020年,他们结合职能任务制定省军区建设第一个“三年规划”,细化每年党管武装、备战打仗、兵员征集、民兵建设等重点工作的目标、标准和方法,以党管武装模范县考评、军地互提需求互办实事“双清单”制度等工作为抓手,实现重点工作持续突破、全面建设提质增效。 “对标职责使命我们缺什么,聚焦备战打仗我们干什么,推动高质量发展我们立什么”,党的二十大胜利闭幕后,该省军区着眼推进打仗型国防动员建设,围绕“巩固提高一体化国家战略体系和能力”“增加新域新质作战力量比重”等新课题、新要求,深入地方政府机关、驻军部队、科研院校召开座谈会20多场,收集数百组数据,推动党的二十大精神进入思想、进入工作,转化为强军兴武的务实举措、标准规范,融入省军区各项建设。 聚焦备战打仗是该省军区筹划新年度工作的核心指向。记者在该省军区战备建设局新年度工作计划中看到,该局聚焦国防动员备战打仗准备,紧扣民兵建设质效,筹划打造“河南后备铁军”等4个优质品牌,对应设置指挥能力达标率等12项关键指标。“三年规划”要求全省民兵分队基地轮训率、新质力量编建率等每年提升1个百分点。 “这些指标并非空穴来风,都建立在科学数据支撑基础上。”该局参谋张晨说,未来3年全省每年将有4至5个民兵训练基地建成投入使用,基地化、整建制轮训承训民兵能力持续提高;全省平均每年新增高新技术企业1800多家,为扩大新质民兵力量规模提供了可靠保证。 “科学的规划计划应因时而定、因势而变,做到实事求是、紧贴实际。”省军区司令员赵钧介绍,近年来,该省军区走开“理论学习、研究问题、进入决策”的方法路子,开设“强军中原大讲堂”,围绕部队重点工作先后组织24次集中研讨,不断用习近平强军思想武装头脑、指导工作、谋划发展。今年下半年征兵,他们积极响应人才强军号召,在充分调研论证基础上,优化高学历青年应征入伍政策措施,使大学毕业生入伍比例提高20多个百分点。在筹划新年度工作时,他们拟完善精准征兵工作机制,采取优先征集特长专业学生等措施,持续提高大学毕业生入伍比例。 “一流建设要靠精心设计、规划牵引,更要靠精准督导、精细落实。”为发挥编制规划对部队建设的牵引作用,该省军区研究出台《加强机关工作统筹的措施》,采取每周交班汇报年度重点工作进展情况,每月汇报基础性工作清单、讲评推进基层抓建情况、报告经费使用进度等机制措施,狠抓以备战打仗为核心的年度目标任务刚性落实,确保每一项工作都严格按路线图、时间表推进,紧紧抓在手上、件件落到实处。(李光辉) (文图:赵筱尘 巫邓炎) [责编:天天中] 阅读剩余全文() |
