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.
香港女孩在浙江横店创业：事业爱情双丰收****** (新春走基层)香港女孩在浙江横店创业：事业爱情双丰收 中新网金华1月26日电(董易鑫)“我们从正月初一到正月初六都是挨家挨户地拜年，我男朋友是本地人，家这边的亲戚特别多，特别热闹。”26日，1999年出生的香港女孩蔡雅汶告诉记者，前几天，自己和爱人楼佳明在浙江金华东阳市横店举行了订婚宴。 2008年，蔡雅汶和哥哥蔡志强随母亲来到浙江生活。“我的哥哥之前在香港的茶餐厅工作，后来随着妈妈在义乌做外贸生意。”蔡雅汶回忆，自己的初中、高中时光在浙江度过。 “当时做了几年外贸生意，我哥有自己开一家茶餐厅的想法。我嫂子是横店人，两个人结婚后，就在横店开了第一家港式茶餐厅。现在，我们在横店有5家门店，在义乌、杭州也设有分店。”蔡雅汶告诉中新网记者。 位于浙江中部的横店，构建了完整的影视产业生态链，累计接待剧组超3800个，是全球最大的影视实景拍摄基地之一。  蔡雅汶(前排右一)和家人一起庆祝新年。 蔡雅汶 供图1997年香港回归祖国，为内地和香港电影行业进一步交流提供了现实基础。2003年《内地与香港关于建立更紧密经贸关系的安排》的签署，为香港电影获得了打入内地市场的“新引擎”，大批香港影人顺势“北上”探寻发展之路。 横店便是大批香港影人的目的地之一。2005年，香港导演李国立担任制作人，香港导演吴锦源、梁胜权、麦贯之等人执导的古装仙侠剧《仙剑奇侠传》在内地引起轰动，成为一代年轻人的青春记忆。该作品曾在横店取景。 “我是香港人，公司在北京，妻子、孩子常驻上海，我一年有一半以上的时间都在横店的剧组。和我一样在横店的香港导演、演员有很多。这么多年，大家也在这里创作过很多精品作品。”《为有暗香来》剧组监制马田接受中新网记者采访时表示。 在横店的香港影人是蔡雅汶店里的常客。“我们刚来横店开店的时候，这边的港式餐厅并不多。有一次我听到店里有食客用粤语交流，便用粤语回应了下，聊了几句后发现他是香港导演。”蔡雅汶说，后来，这位导演只要在横店拍戏，几乎天天来用餐。  横店一个剧组预订的港式茶点。 蔡雅汶 供图一传十，十传百。蔡雅汶的港式餐厅被越来越多在横店忙碌的香港影人熟知，订单也纷至沓来，常常会接到来自剧组的近百杯冰柠茶订单。为了满足更多客人的饮食习惯，餐品种类也越来越丰富。 蔡雅汶和爱人楼佳明也因餐厅结缘。“他经常来店里吃饭，总吃那几样餐点。有时候他来店里不用开口，我就知道他要点什么，一来二去就熟悉了。后来，我们还在旅行途中偶遇过，觉得很有缘分，他也很照顾我和我的家人，便决定在一起了。”蔡雅汶分享起自己的爱情故事眼带笑意、有些腼腆。 “今年横店的游客很多，也有好几个筹备剧组找我们预订餐食，店里特别特别忙。大年初三我们就开门营业了，我妈妈几乎每天都喊我赶紧回店里帮忙。”蔡雅汶说，未来，店里会继续丰富港味餐品，她和爱人计划今年中旬领结婚证。(完)
