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.
人才为乡村全面振兴提供支撑****** 乡村振兴战略是党和国家优先发展农业农村的必然要求。一方面,实现乡村振兴,亟需懂农业、爱农村、爱农民的人才投身乡村建设,充分发挥人才支撑作用;另一方面,在推进乡村振兴战略的伟大实践中,必将促进乡村人才的产生和发展,为乡村人才振兴提供机遇和保障。 人才兴则国家兴。人才是社会进步的重要力量,乡村人才作为乡村建设的核心要素,能为乡村全面振兴提供有力支撑。在全面推进乡村振兴的过程中,人才振兴是关键。在接续奋斗乡村振兴进程中,要紧紧抓住“人才”这个关键,充分发挥好乡村人才的支撑和引领作用。 产业振兴依靠人才精进实干。乡村振兴的实施着力点在于“产业振兴、人才振兴、文化振兴、生态振兴、组织振兴”,产业振兴是乡村全面振兴的基础和关键,人才振兴是主攻方向之一,是决定影响乡村振兴的核心要素。推动产业振兴,实现强农兴农的目标必须发挥人才支撑作用,要从退伍军人、致富能手、农技人员等人群中选拔培育培育致富队伍,提高振兴产业、为民服务的本领。以产才融合创新产业发展理念,培养高素质乡村治理人才,提高产业效能,优化专业技术人才供给,丰富产业类型,培育新型职业农民创造产业活力,通过强化人才队伍建设助推乡村产业振兴。 文化振兴依赖人才塑造培育。实施乡村振兴战略,文化振兴是灵魂。乡村文化振兴不仅是乡村振兴战略的应有之义,而且对于乡村组织振兴、生态振兴、产业振兴、人才振兴具有重要引领和推动作用。乡村文化振兴的背后彰显的是教育的力量,需要具备人文方面学识和认知的乡村人才,发挥创造力传承乡村文化,改变乡村精神风貌,充分挖掘乡村蕴涵的文化资源,产生内驱力推动乡村文化振兴。要理解乡土文化、认同乡土文化、尊重乡土文化、热爱乡土文化,增强文化自信,同时要实现生活环境好和人文环境美,生态振兴依托具有相关知识能力的人才来作为担当,为乡村振兴提供良好环境。 组织振兴依赖人才执行落实。组织振兴是乡村振兴的保障条件。乡村治理有效关键靠组织,需要整合乡村中的各类先进组织力量,构建现代化的治理体系,均离不开乡村人才的智慧和力量。要注重从选派的驻村干部、大学生村官、返乡创业能手和致富带头人群体中,把那些政治素质过硬、能力本领高强、群众口碑好的选育成村级党组织负责人,选优配强村级班子。要始终把解决好“三农”问题作为全党工作重中之重,拓宽农村选拔吸纳干部人才渠道,选树好勤勉工作、敢挑重任、敢于担当的干部队伍,培养造就一支懂农业、爱农村、爱农民的“三农”工作队伍。(魏丹亚) (文图:赵筱尘 巫邓炎) [责编:天天中] 阅读剩余全文() |
