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.
全国“公安楷模”刘亚斌:工匠精神成就信息化破案尖兵****** 刘亚斌 公安部供图 中新网北京1月10日电 (记者郭超凯)一次内心的选择就是一生无悔的追求。16年警察生涯,刘亚斌长期战斗在打击犯罪的第一线,用工匠精神成就信息化破案尖兵。 刘亚斌生前任河北省沧州市公安局运河分局网安大队三级警长,在16年从警生涯中,他数次经历死亡考验,仅直面歹徒、短兵相接就达100余次,先后负伤20余次,累计参与破获各类案件1000余起,抓获犯罪嫌疑人800余名,为维护辖区治安稳定、服务经济社会发展作出了突出贡献。 2006年,在沧州职业技术学院任教3年多的刘亚斌毅然报考了警察职位。2013年,市内渤海商厦发现一枚绑在汽油桶上的定时炸弹,接到报警后,刘亚斌立即赶赴现场处置。由于商场人员集中、炸弹爆炸时间不定,他不顾个人安危,面对随时可能爆炸的炸弹,果断地用防爆毯将炸弹包裹起来,驾车转运到安全地带作进一步处理,整个案件未造成任何人员伤亡和财产损失。 “为了人民群众的利益,再苦再累我们都值得。”他是这样说的,也是这样做的。他以一颗赤子之心对群众、一片赤诚之心待事业,从点滴做起、从小事做起,同群众真正成为“一家人”。 面对日益突出的电信网络诈骗新型违法犯罪,刘亚斌认真总结电信诈骗类型及80项防范措施,通过多种形式,先后100余次为河北水利电力学院、沧州师范学院等大中院校学生和辖区群众、离退休职工,现场讲解预防电信诈骗知识,深受群众欢迎和好评。 他主动联系运河区26所小学,组织2.5万余名学生开展“我与家长一起学”互动活动,使每名学生成为防范电信诈骗犯罪的宣传员,由学生向家中父母、老人讲解电信诈骗防范知识。 刘亚斌生前常说:“破不了案对不起受害人,对不起法律,更对不起身上的警服警徽!”他始终战斗在打击犯罪、保护人民的前沿阵地,对电信网络诈骗等侵财犯罪展开凌厉攻势,坚持用证据说话,每一起案件都要办成铁案,经得起历史的检验。 刘亚斌 公安部供图 2014年初,公安部发现某网络投资诈骗团伙,犯罪嫌疑人勾结某些网络软件公司,非法开发电子交易平台软件,在互联网上虚假注册交易网站,挂靠第三方支付平台,以买卖股票、期货或者大宗商品现货交易等名义诱骗受害人投资,并通过后台程序操控交易活动,诈骗受害人大量钱财,沧州市运河区某公司具有重大作案嫌疑。 根据公安部要求,沧州市公安局成立“2014.3.20”网络投资诈骗专案组对案件进行侦办。刘亚斌具体负责案件侦办工作,经对案情进行仔细研究后,提出侦查方案,他带领案件侦办团队连续奋战3个月,做了大量细致工作。最终,工作组抓获犯罪嫌疑人75人,冻结涉案资金8400余万元,最大程度维护了受害人的权益。 参加公安工作16年来,他先后牵头研发沧州汽车租赁业管理系统和多个信息化破案技战法,形成了独树一帜的侦查思路,相继撰写、发表10多万字的案件侦破心得体会和研究文章,为攻克一个又一个重大疑难案件提供了有益参考,被誉为“铁手神探”。 2008年,刘亚斌通过对在逃系统的研究,发现由于当时信息化作战能力和历史条件制约,各地在开展网上追逃工作中,情报信息的互联互通不畅,导致很多在押服刑人员和取保候审的在逃人员迟迟难以到案,耗费大量的人力、物力、精力。 他通过比对,在全国范围内一次性比出3000多名在押或取保的逃犯,比一个中队三十年抓的人都多。省厅为此专门开展了在逃人员比对的专项行动,并将此行动常态化。 刘亚斌生前先后在派出所、刑警队、国保大队、合成作战中心和网安大队工作,无论在哪个岗位上,他都是严以修身、严以用权、严以律己,从未发生过一起违法乱纪问题。 2022年5月7日,刘亚斌突发疾病不幸牺牲。他去世后,网友在他的新闻报道中留下了1800多条留言,每一条都感人至深,每一条都催人泪下。 为政不移公仆之心、用权不谋一己之利、立身不忘做人之本。刘亚斌的一生,恰如他自己常挂在嘴边的话——“只有个人干净,才有做人的底气、做事的硬气、做警察的正气”。(完)
