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.
新疆兵团：肉兔养殖“蹦”上致富路****** (新春走基层)新疆兵团：肉兔养殖“蹦”上致富路 中新网乌鲁木齐2月2日电 (戚亚平 胡彩艳)“家养三只兔，不愁油盐醋；家养十只兔，不愁棉和布；家养百只兔，走上致富路。”这是一首在当地职工群众间广为流传的“致富经”。 新疆生产建设兵团第一师十二团九连职工郭云建把农闲时间用在养殖上，通过努力，摇身一变成了十二团塔南片区小有名气的“郭兔王”。  郭云建正在给兔子喂食。 胡彩艳 摄说起“郭兔王”的由来，就要从郭云建养兔开始说起。2019年，郭云建偶然在市场上看见肉兔销售行情异常火爆，便萌生养兔子致富的想法。回家和家人商量后，便在自家田边建起肉兔养殖舍搞养殖。 万事开头难，由于当时养殖技术落后，兔种老化，加上育肥技术不足，出肉率仅32%，郭云建养殖的兔子在市场上不受欢迎。 “养殖初期，无论是饲料搭配还是种兔选择，身边都没有经验借鉴，大多都是靠视频、书籍学习，没过多久兔子就开始大面积生病。”郭云建说，当时心里面确实也想过放弃，但是经过一番思考还是决定坚持下去。 十二团九连党支部知道此事后，做出决定，由九连连长张辉牵头，联系塔里木大学相关养殖技术专家，和十二团农发中心技术人员帮郭云建做诊断。 “当天就为郭云建开出了可行方案，并现场传授他技术。”张辉说。 作为连长，张辉也经常走访郭云建，帮他解决如销路、防疫等困难。 “我的创业之路一开始不平坦，充满了很多的不确定因素，如技术、场地等。”除请教当地养殖技术专家和人员外，郭云建经常到外地考察学习。 经过几年努力，郭云建成功总结出一套适合本地的肉兔养殖技术。兔子数量也从最初几十只，发展到如今800余只。 “养兔子最关键的就是要做好消毒、防疫，温度和饲喂，要防暑防寒。”如今说起兔子养殖，郭云建如数家珍，在生长过程中一定要仔细观察和记录，分栏管理，要保证兔子品种的优良。 郭云建介绍，兔子生长繁殖非常快，70日龄即可上市销售，出肉率可达65%左右。 “去年毛利润是四五十万元，净利润是十几万元，效益很不错，现在到处订单都来了，干起来也很有劲头。”郭云建说。 郭云建的养兔事业步入正轨，不但鼓起自己的钱袋子，也成为塔南片区自主创业的名人和榜样。 为带动更多职工走上致富路，郭云建决定扩大养兔规模，形成肉兔养殖产业链，同时还为有意向的职工提供繁育种兔和适龄母兔，助力职工增收致富。(完)
