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.
“女蛙王”的新愿望****** 新华社石家庄1月10日电（记者杨帆）早上五点半，丁继萍就在泳池边了。 打开计时器，戴上老花镜，摊开训练日志本，逐个布置队员的训练内容。随着一声响亮的“预备、走”，队员们先后跃入池中，开始7000米距离的水上训练。
1月7日，丁继萍早起在泳池开始工作。 场边一举一动都带着劲头的丁继萍，今年62岁。年轻时她做过游泳运动员，8年职业生涯中屡获佳绩，被誉为“河北蛙王”。退役后，丁继萍来到教练员岗位上，为国家培养输送了大批优秀运动员。 “女蛙王”走上游泳道路很偶然。14岁时，一次丁继萍在省游泳馆玩耍被业余游泳培训班的教练相中，才开始系统参与游泳训练。起步晚，意味着需要付出更多努力，经年累月也培养了她能吃苦、能突破的劲头。
1980年9月，丁继萍在上海参加全国游泳锦标赛。 2016年，河北省体育局大胆试水改革，河北省体育局游泳跳水运动中心联合衡水泰华锦业房地产有限公司共同创建河北泰华锦业游泳队，同年成立了基地设在衡水市市郊的河北泰华锦业游泳俱乐部（以下称泰华俱乐部），以期在泳池内实现突破。
1月7日，泰华俱乐部游泳馆内景。 正是那一年，已到退休年纪的丁继萍，开启了人生的另一个偶然，她决定随河北省游泳队来到俱乐部，一把年纪成了开拓者。丁继萍说：“我们一家人常年两地分居，都盼着我退休回家休息。但我觉得还能干，能在教练岗位上有更高突破。” 河北省体育局游跳中心负责人介绍，丁继萍作为优秀专业教练，带过各年龄段的孩子，技术扎实、经验丰富，最终确定她作为俱乐部二线队主教练。 记者采访了解到，泰华俱乐部二线队队员年龄集中在9-12岁，这个阶段青少年身心发育尚不充分，不仅需要教练员在场上科学指导，还需要场下悉心照顾。 丁继萍说：“孩子们常年跟着我，比跟父母的时间还长，我们建了个微信群叫‘丁奶奶的大家庭’，每天督促他们学习生活，他们有什么小秘密也会和我说。”
1月8日，丁继萍在泳池边辅导队员。 18岁的队员周存鑫跟着丁继萍训练已有一年时间，在此期间达到了国家一级运动员水平。但刚来队里时，周存鑫曾因完不成训练任务而懈怠退缩。 “丁教练发现后单独找我谈话，拿她当年训练的故事激励我，告诉我‘咬牙坚持是运动员的一个宝贵品质’。”那次谈话后，周存鑫努力训练，成绩突飞猛进。 正是在丁继萍等一批老中青教练携手努力之下，俱乐部迎来突破：队员李冰洁、张一璠在东京奥运会女子4×200米自由泳接力项目上夺冠并打破世界纪录；第15届短池游泳世锦赛上，李冰洁在女子800米、400米自由泳项目夺金。
2021年7月29日，东京奥运会游泳项目女子4×200米自由泳接力决赛，中国队打破世界纪录并夺冠，中国队选手杨浚瑄、汤慕涵、张雨霏、李冰洁（从左到右）在颁奖仪式后合影。新华社记者夏一方摄。 泰华俱乐部总经理康靖介绍：“竞赛层面之外，近几年俱乐部深入贯彻体教融合政策，引入衡水当地优质文化教育资源，孩子们的学习教育得到有力保障。丁继萍的多名队员以成绩优异考入大学，她获得了广大家长的肯定。” 随着寒假和春节即将到来，最近有很多省区市游泳队前来泰华俱乐部训练，丁继萍说自己“已经顾不上惦记过春节了”。“新年有个新愿望——能精力充沛工作。现在孩子们成长进步的路子更宽，我想培养更多苗子，帮他们在泳池内外有所成就。”她说。 图片：除标注外均为受访单位提供 快盈官网地图 |
