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.
经历“最冷假期”后,华强北商户寻找“春天”****** 阅读提示 在严查货品来源的管理要求下,“水货”手机逐渐失去生存空间,深圳华强北的大批手机商户遭遇“最冷假期”。不过,他们借助之前的经验积累,纷纷谋求新的出路。有的将销售渠道从线下搬到线上,还有的转向回收、销售国产或国行二手手机。 走进位于深圳市福田区的华强北飞扬时代大厦,记者发现高高悬挂在天花板上的大红色横幅显得格外醒目——“依法依规经营,严禁销售无合法来源产品”。 “我们严格查验货品来源,要求出示相关凭证、发票、收据等材料证明来源合法,才允许售卖。”近日,飞扬时代大厦市场管理处工作人员向记者透露。 “守一天,亏一天”“一部手机只能挣百元差价,利润减半”“有客询价却无货”……在严查货品来源的管理要求下,“水货”手机逐渐失去生存空间,华强北飞扬时代大厦的大批手机摊贩面临集体转型。 告别“水货”后,华强北商户该何去何从?记者采访了解到,商户们借助之前的经验积累,纷纷谋求新的出路。有的将销售渠道从线下搬到线上,有的尝试将“战场”转向回收、销售国产或国行二手手机。 借助从业经验实现转型 销售二手手机,尤其是“水货”手机,对华强北倒卖二手手机的年轻人(被称为“背包客”)而言,曾是一项具有售后风险的工作。为了避免售后问题,验货、测试是“背包客”的必备技能。 “拿回去有问题的手机,‘档口’老板不认账,不肯退换,就只能自己花钱修好。”“背包客”钟杰直言,自己也曾因拿了问题机吃过亏。如果问题手机导致客户退货,“背包客”不仅要承担来回几十元的邮费,还会耽误客户销售,影响信誉。 在飞扬时代大厦,售卖、维修、物流服务实现了“一条龙”。“背包客”们在档口拿到货后,测试发现有问题,不出大厦就能解决维修问题。一些“背包客”还懂得一些简单的维修技术。“货运过来都是没有修理过的。拿货时,只能将同一型号的整批货都拿走,不能挑选,质量参差不齐。”凭借长期的经验积累,遇到一些小问题,“背包客”林冲锋逐渐学会了如何维修。 在转型过程中,档口老板和“背包客”们利用先前的经验积累,或开设线下实体店回收、转卖国行或国产二手手机,或通过分享手机挑选、使用、维修的一些小技巧吸引一批粉丝,拓展客户来源,开辟线上销售渠道。 转卖国行“靓机” “iPhone12,128G,国行双卡双待全网通5G,价格2580元”“高价回收,好坏二手手机都收”……翻开近期陈立群的微信朋友圈,记者留意到,他已经逐渐告别“水货”行业,将“战场”转到国行“靓机”。 “二手手机新旧程度不同,价格也有所不同。按外观成色区分,可以分为大花机、小花机、靓机、充新机。只要屏幕花了,都不能算是靓机,只能划为花机。充新机就是有使用痕迹但可忽略不计。”“背包客”钟杰介绍,作为“搬运工”,客户需要什么货,他们就拿什么货,但要保证是原装机。对从业者和客户而言,国行“靓机”的售后相对“水货”更加便捷。 去年7月,国家发展改革委印发的《“十四五”循环经济发展规划》明确要规范发展二手商品市场,同时鼓励“互联网+二手”模式发展,鼓励平台企业引入第三方二手商品专业经营商户,提高二手商品交易效率,推动线下实体二手市场规范建设和运营。国家不断释放利好政策,对二手手机回收行业发展起到了助推作用。 成立工作室、开二手手机店、入驻互联网二手交易平台……记者了解到,华强北的档口老板和“背包客”们正以多种方式开辟自己的二手手机回收和交易业务渠道。 线上销售,“小单快跑” 将档口退租后,林冲锋尝试线上销售,试图通过短视频社交软件积累客户。“我在社交平台以视频形式分享基本的手机维修知识以及不同型号手机的小技能,吸引了一些粉丝,有少量发展成了客户。”林冲锋说。 记者在短视频平台搜索“背包客”,发现有不少华强北从业者以视频形式介绍如何购买性价比高的二手手机以及手机摄影技巧、维修技能等。这些期望通过线上销售谋求转型的“背包客”中,既有粉丝数量寥寥者,也有人积累了近20万粉丝。“粉丝中大部分人对二手手机感兴趣,当有购买需求的时候,自然会找到关注的博主。”林冲锋如是说。 此外,也有一些手机摊贩尝试销售品牌新机。与飞扬时代大厦不同的是,华强北远望商城主要销售各品牌新机,是全球最大的“一站式”手机、数码产品采购中心。 在远望商城租有档口的叶先生告诉记者,他们属于经销商,相当于做多个品牌手机的批发业务。经销商能从厂家、代理商处以较低价格拿货,主要客户是电商平台的店家。“与‘水货’相比,利润肯定低一点,但属于合法经营,‘小单快跑’,这也是不错的行业。” (应采访对象要求,文中人物均为化名) 中国网客户端 国家重点新闻网站,9语种权威发布 |
