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.
新春佳节万家团圆 四川绵阳警方助力5个失散家庭圆梦****** 中新网绵阳1月29日电 (岳波)“感谢胡警官，让我见到了29年未曾谋面的亲人……”1月29日下午，在四川省绵阳市公安局刑侦支队会议室，来自山西省忻州市的宫女士激动万分。在民警胡祥雨的帮助下，宫女士找到了失踪29年的母亲、弟弟。这也是“胡祥雨工作室”在春节假期帮助的第5个失散家庭找回亲人。 据了解，1月27日，胡祥雨接到36岁宫女士的求助电话，请求“胡祥雨工作室”帮助她寻找母亲和弟弟。宫女士反映，母亲名叫陈青，1994年带着年仅5岁的弟弟从山西忻州市神池县离家出走，近30年来家人想尽办法寻找，但都没有结果。宫女士曾听父亲说陈青的老家好像在四川绵阳。今年春节农历正月初三，思母心切的宫女士带着丈夫，揣上30多年前母亲的一张照片，专门从山西驾车来到绵阳市，四处打听母亲和弟弟的消息，却没有任何进展。后来，宫女士了解到绵阳有一个专门帮助群众寻亲的“胡祥雨工作室”，便拨打了求助电话。  宫女士一家团聚。 绵阳市公安局供图胡祥雨详细询问人员信息后，随即组织人员着手核查。在排查绵阳、德阳两地疑似人员130余人后，于1月28日发现一名叫曾玉兰的德阳中江县人与宫女士所提供失踪人员信息高度吻合。 胡祥雨立即联系到曾玉兰了解相关情况。经过进一步核实，此人确系1994年山西神池县失踪妇女陈青。1950年3月出生的曾玉兰，中江县人(曾属绵阳地区管辖)，1985年来到山西省忻州市神池县打工，后改名陈青与当地一名姓宫的男子结为夫妻，分别在1987年、1989年生下女儿、儿子。陈青因为与家人不和，于1994年带着儿子回到四川。不久后，她又带着儿子去了江苏南京生活，从此便与丈夫和女儿失去了联系。今年1月中旬，母子俩从江苏回到中江老家过节，令她万万没有料到的是春节会与亲生女儿重逢。 “每逢佳节倍思亲，在万家团圆的新春佳节，能够帮助多个失散家庭圆梦，这个节日我们过得很有意义……”胡祥雨说，1月中旬以来，他接到多名寻亲人求助电话和短信，这是群众对“胡祥雨工作室”的信任。春节假期，胡祥雨在与家人团聚之余依然牵挂着仍在寻亲的群众，他带领工作室人员发动社会力量，并充分运用公安新技术开展寻亲工作，春节假期已帮助5个失散家庭找回亲人。  宫女士一家给绵阳警方送锦旗表示感谢。 绵阳市公安局供图据悉，43岁的绵阳市公安局刑侦支队一大队教导员胡祥雨，在2019年至2022年期间先后组织侦破涉拐案件22起，打击处理涉拐犯罪嫌疑人65人，采集录入疑似涉拐DNA血样信息3500余份，帮助解救、找回失踪被拐人员370名，先后被表彰为四川省维护妇女儿童权益先进个人、四川省“最美基层民警”，荣立个人一等功。(完)
