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.
（新春走基层）“洋教头”的第一个“中国年”：教泰拳，享美食****** 中新网漳州1月10日电 (张金川 廖珍妹)“过来嘛，手、肘、腿、膝……”在福建省漳州市龙溪搏击俱乐部内，来自泰国清迈的泰拳教练库鲁，正和学员们实战对打，教学现场格外火爆。
“再来2个、3个……”在库鲁的口令声中，学员手脚并用，连续击打鞋靶，格斗搏击的声音响彻全馆。 现年42岁的库鲁，7岁开始练拳，2015年获泰拳大师C级证书，2016年后相继获泰拳教练执照B证、A证证书，从事泰拳教学已14年。  泰拳教练库鲁(右)和学员实战对打，现场十分火爆。 张金川 摄“拳术，在泰国是一项大众普及、影响力很广的运动。”库鲁告诉中新社记者，在泰国，他曾有自己的拳馆；拳馆关闭后，他去过巴西、澳大利亚、新加坡等地教授泰拳。 库鲁此次来到漳州已有两个月，现为龙溪搏击俱乐部的唯一一位“洋教头”。刚开始时，他只会讲英语，与教练、学员交流要通过龙溪搏击俱乐部负责人阮沈滨来翻译；现在，他也能讲些简单的中文了。 “学员们通过他的动作示范，都能领会他的教学要领。”阮沈滨调侃道，别看库鲁教学时有点“鬼哭狼嚎”，但氛围非常好，学员的力量能被他激发。  泰拳教练库鲁(右)和学员实战对打，现场十分火爆。 张金川 摄据阮沈滨介绍，新冠疫情发生前，当地练习泰拳的人不少，高峰时俱乐部有700多名学员，先后有6个泰国教练及俄罗斯、乌克兰教练来执教；受新冠疫情影响，那些“洋教头”相继离开了。 “疫情前，我基本每一年都来中国教拳。”库鲁自称“很爱往中国跑”，但此次来漳州执教，是他第一次来福建，也是疫情发生后首次来中国。他希望今年开始泰拳培训和交流能够更频繁。 六年前首次踏上中国后，库鲁曾在陕西西安、甘肃兰州、吉林、贵州等多地执教。“到中国后，我很惊讶，中国人很多人喜欢泰拳。”  泰拳教练库鲁(右)和学员实战对打，现场十分火爆。 张金川 摄泰拳主要运用人体的双拳、双腿、双肘、双膝这四肢八体来进行攻击，具有较强的杀伤力，被称为“八臂拳术”“八条腿的运动”。在库鲁看来，泰拳动作简单、上手快，普通人练习泰拳，既能习得一技之长，用作个人防身，又能减肥和强身健体。 在龙溪搏击俱乐部的同事眼中，库鲁是个“吃货”，也是中国电影的“铁粉”。 “最喜欢吃烧烤配点小酒，还要加很多辣才够爽。”喜欢重口味的库鲁觉得漳州饮食偏甜，“中国啤酒太淡了，喝起来像水；白酒又太辣了，喝不下去。” 除了酷爱吃烧烤，库鲁在中国最开心的是可以看很多中国电影。聊起电影，库鲁两眼放光，兴致颇高，“我也是通过中国电影了解中国文化，爱上中国文化的。”  库鲁(右)带领学员学泰拳。 张金川 摄库鲁七八岁就开始爱看中国电影。他说，最喜欢的电影有刘德华、吴倩莲主演的《天若有情》，成龙主演的《醉拳》等；最喜欢的电影明星有王祖贤、黎明、周星驰等。 春节临近，漳州市区张灯结彩，街上挂起了红灯笼、中国结、福字，让库鲁感受到浓浓的中国年味。他说，中国人很喜欢红色，红色在泰国代表了“lucky”(幸运)，他也很喜欢红色。 “泰国新年是‘宋干节’(也称‘泼水节’)，有3天假期，而中国农历新年假期长达7天，同事们打算带我去串门、唱歌，还有吃我最爱吃的烧烤。”留在漳州过年的库鲁，对他的第一个“中国年”充满期待，“我要吃遍中国美食、看遍中国电影。”(完)
