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.
新春走基层丨厦门北站的巾帼“水总管”****** 新华社厦门1月10日电题：厦门北站的巾帼“水总管” 新华社记者颜之宏 1月9日凌晨4点多，天还没亮，厦门的微风带着阵阵寒意，尚有倦意的汪美端已经起床。她给一家人做好早饭，就匆匆赶往厦门北站的工作岗位上。除了照顾家庭，汪美端还有另一重身份，那就是这座繁忙高铁站的“水总管”。 什么是“水总管”？通俗地说，无论是普速列车还是高铁动车，在行驶途中都需要向旅客提供饮用和洗漱用水，这些水由给水员在列车停站期间注入列车自带的水箱中。由于给水员要在列车停站的极短时间内人工完成注水操作，同时还要确保自身在股道上的作业安全，因此铁路职工亲切地称他们为“水总管”。
1月9日，注水完成后，汪美端确认列车水箱水位。新华社记者颜之宏 摄 “G2380列车进站，给水员请加水。”9日5时30分，对讲机里传来指令，厦门北站的首班列车即将发车，汪美端和同事开始在铁路股道上前后忙碌。两个给水员要在15分钟内完成8节车厢的注水任务。汪美端熟练地整理着数十斤重的水管，随后快速插入列车水箱，拧开龙头，随着“哗”的一声响动，自来水喷涌而入，水箱的数显水位表读数开始跃动。 “G2380加水完毕，水管脱离！”在完成8节车厢的注水任务后，汪美端和同事还要再仔细确认水管是否均已脱离列车。在一阵鸣笛声后，列车缓缓出站。
1月9日，完成注水操作后，汪美端目送列车驶离。新华社记者颜之宏 摄 春运期间的厦门北站异常繁忙，需要加水的列车数量从此前的一天四五十趟增加至当前的六七十趟。高铁列车一般是8节车厢，重联动车组是16节，而普速列车有18节车厢，这意味着给水员们的工作量将在这几天翻番。“忙点儿好，忙就是我们铁路人的‘年味儿’。”汪美端说，今年是“新十条”实施后的第一个春运，也是她担任给水员以来的第一个春运。 2022年9月，年近四十的汪美端入职成为一名给水员，而她从事这个工作的原因之一就是要给孩子“树榜样”。原来，汪美端的大女儿去年9月步入高三，作为一名艺考生，每天都要早起练习绘画。对于新的作息规律，处在青春懵懂期的孩子对此有些抵触情绪。“咱们打个赌，你能做到的，妈妈也能做到！”就这样，母女俩定下了一年之约，汪美端也从一名家庭主妇变成“水总管”。
1月9日，列车停站后，汪美端将水管插入列车水箱内完成注水作业。新华社记者 颜之宏 摄 厦门北站的26名给水员，一半由女性组成，今年已经53岁的王彩龙也是其中的一员。“有退休工资、有房租收入，还乐于做又苦又累的给水员。”这是同事们对王彩龙的评价。 四年前，已经做奶奶的王彩龙毅然报名成为一名铁路给水员。“男人们能干的活，我们女人一样能干，而且干得比他们好！”
1月9日，厦门北站的给水员班组在交接班前点名。新华社记者颜之宏 摄 对给水员来说，晴天时，列车扬起的灰尘让人“灰头土脸”；而在雨天中作业，不一会儿就会浑身湿透。9日下午，王彩龙和她的同事们在大雨中给列车补水，列车开行刮起的风快速带走股道上的热量，寒意袭来，王彩龙和她的同事们身体都在微微颤抖…… 在今年的返乡途中，当您在列车上斟满一杯热茶或泡上一碗泡面时，看看窗外，或许能看到“水总管”们在春运大幕后的辛勤付出。 （文图：赵筱尘 巫邓炎） [责编：天天中] 阅读剩余全文（）  视觉焦点
