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.
浙江：将防重症关口前移到家庭社区和养老机构****** 中新网杭州1月12日电(王逸飞 张煜欢)12日，在浙江省第十四届人民代表大会第一次会议“厅(局)长通道”集中采访活动上，浙江省卫生健康委党委书记、主任王仁元介绍，目前浙江全省整体疫情已渡过感染高峰期，但当前住院和重症危重症仍处于高峰平台期，下一步将重点做好关口前移“防重症”、加强农村防疫“补短板”等方面工作，如将防重症的关口前移到家庭、社区和养老机构。 王仁元说，2020年疫情发生以来，该省坚持人民至上、生命至上，因时因势动态优化调整防控措施，不断提高科学精准防控水平，有效应对多轮疫情冲击，最大程度保护人民生命安全和身体健康，最大限度减少疫情对经济社会发展的影响。 当前疫情防控进入新阶段，该省防控工作也面临着新形势新任务。王仁元称，目前浙江疫情防控和医疗救治主要呈现五方面特点：一是整体疫情已渡过感染高峰期；二是发热门诊就诊人次明显回落；三是120急救及急诊目前已处于逐步下降阶段；四是住院和重症危重症仍处于高峰平台期，其中65岁以上老人占90%左右；五是医疗资源总体处于平衡状态，能基本满足当前的医疗救治需求，但仍处于最关键的阶段。 “下一步，我们要坚定信心、全力以赴，把‘防重症、遏病亡’作为重中之重。”王仁元介绍，接下来该省卫健部门将重点做好关口前移“防重症”、强化医疗救治“遏病亡”、管好重点人群“暖服务”以及加强农村防疫“补短板”等四方面工作。 以关口前移“防重症”为例，该省提出要强化早发现，将防重症的关口前移到家庭、社区和养老机构；强化早识别，提高基层医疗卫生机构早期识别诊断能力；强化早干预，畅通保供渠道，必备药品器械直达村卫生室和社区卫生服务站；强化早转诊，依托城市医联体和县域医共体，建立和畅通重症患者转诊绿色通道。 “哪里有需要，就重点支援哪里。”王仁元还指出，该省将加强医疗资源的统筹力度，建立日调度和省市专家组巡诊、会诊制度，盘活用足浙江全省重症救治资源。医疗机构要全院总动员，人员全院调动、资源全院统筹，加大病区和床位腾、转、并力度，做到人员、科室、设备、院区、上下“五个打通”，确保应收尽收、应治尽治。 此外，为重点管好“一老一小”、孕产妇、残疾人、严重慢性病患者等五类人群，该省还将加强“一对一”暖心服务，分级分类做好健康监测、重症预警、医疗服务等工作。 “当前，我省感染重点区域呈现从城市向农村转移的趋势。与城市相比，广大农村地区疫情防控基础比较薄弱，决不能掉以轻心。”王仁元说，要千方百计增加农村防疫物资储备和供应，重点保供偏远农村、山区、海岛等地区。特别是针对浙江农村地区24万名65岁以上独居老人、3万名14岁以下留守儿童，全面落实对口联系，确保有人管、有人问。同时充分发挥县域医共体作用，加大人员下沉派驻的力度，加强重症转运救治能力，畅通服务民众“最后一公里”。(完) 快三平台地图 |
