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.
通讯:唐诗逸的世界性表达:在《如见》中“舞”出人生新思考****** 中新网呼和浩特2月3日电 题:唐诗逸的世界性表达:在《如见》中“舞”出人生新思考 中新网记者 李爱平 在呼和浩特排练现场,长达90分钟的舞剧《如见》中,唐诗逸开启自己的世界性表达节奏,她用轻盈柔美的现代舞,正在“舞”出对人生的新思考。 2月3日,舞剧《如见》总导演之一郑子豪在呼和浩特透露,由《诗意地栖居》《前行的生活》《时光中回望》3个篇章组成的该剧,让每个走进剧院的观众都会对人生有不同的解读。 “诗意人生,如见你我。人生舞台,看见自己。”这也是舞剧《如见》另一名总导演、主演唐诗逸,对该剧所追求的艺术新高度。她希望观众能从这部舞剧中感受到主创人员对人生的独特思考。 作为当红流量担当,唐诗逸最近一次惊艳众人的亮相是在中央广播电视总台的兔年春晚,她以水袖舞演绎的东方美人风情,被网友惊呼:“真乃仙女也。” 唐诗逸是中国歌剧舞剧院首席舞者,从2022年6月迄今,她与呼和浩特这座“草原城市”因舞剧《如见》再次结缘。 图为舞剧《如见》海报。 呼和浩特市委宣传部供图由呼和浩特文化旅游投资集团投资打造的该剧,也是过去十年当地对高雅艺术不懈追求的一次收获。此前当地排练的舞剧《马可·波罗传奇》一经问世,即成现象级作品。 “尽管舞剧《如见》是在呼和浩特进行排练,但对艺术的要求和高度却是世界性表达。”郑子豪说,在排练中,主创人员会借鉴民族舞中的元素,但只是借鉴某一点,舞剧《如见》是要适合世界各国观众审美的,未来将会搬上世界各地舞台。 剧组透露,该作品最大特色是,作品中有极致浪漫的幻想、乌托邦式的美好、自我审视的思考、冷漠孤寂的迷惘、前行路上的奋进、互相扶持的温暖,所有的一切最终汇入时光长河,成为永恒。 “这种蒙太奇式的舞台呈现,链接了生活中的所见所思,予观众以无限想象空间,让每个人都能在作品中获得感动。”郑子豪如是表示。 “在舞剧《如见》中,我们还借鉴了呼和浩特大青山绝美的日出。”郑子豪透露,包括唐诗逸导演在内的主创人员看到大青山与敕勒川草原的日出那一刻,都在惊呼,“真的太美了”“呼和浩特是艺术的风水宝地”。 见证过排练现场的高丽芳,是呼和浩特市文化旅游投资集团负责人。她说,唐诗逸和众多演员每天一大早开始排练,一直到晚上很晚。 “唐诗逸对艺术是非常执着的,一直在修改细节。”高丽芳幽默地说,“每一次修改,都说明她对人生有了更多的思考。” “呼和浩特这座城市包容开放,给了我们这部作品大力支持和充分创作空间,让我们能更好地做世界性表达。”郑子豪坦言,这是他和唐诗逸达成的共识。(完)
