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.
健全全面从严治党体系****** 健全全面从严治党体系 ——论学习贯彻习近平总书记二十届中央纪委二次全会重要讲话精神 人民日报评论员 “构建全面从严治党体系是一项具有全局性、开创性的工作。”在二十届中央纪委二次全会上,习近平总书记深刻总结新时代十年我们党初步构建起全面从严治党体系,深刻阐述健全全面从严治党体系的目标任务、实践要求,对推动新时代党的建设新的伟大工程向纵深发展具有重大指导意义。 全面从严治党是新时代党的自我革命的伟大实践,是新时代党的建设的鲜明主题。党的十八大以来,以习近平同志为核心的党中央不断深化对自我革命规律的认识,不断推进党的建设理论创新、实践创新、制度创新,初步构建起全面从严治党体系。十年来,以党的政治建设为统领,坚持党中央集中统一领导是最高政治原则,持续提高各级党组织和党员干部政治判断力、政治领悟力、政治执行力;把思想建设作为党的基础性建设,坚持不懈用习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想凝心铸魂;坚持新时代党的组织路线,增强党组织政治功能和组织力凝聚力;坚决落实中央八项规定精神,以钉钉子精神纠四风树新风;把纪律建设纳入党的建设总体布局,坚持纪严于法、纪在法前;把制度建设贯穿到党的各项建设之中,不断提高党的建设科学化、制度化、规范化水平;坚持以雷霆之势反腐惩恶,反腐败斗争取得压倒性胜利并全面巩固。2022年,中央纪委国家监委和国家统计局合作开展的民意调查结果显示,97.4%的群众认为全面从严治党卓有成效,比2012年提高了22.4%,99%的群众认为党中央正风肃纪反腐的举措体现了我们党彻底的自我革命精神。 党的二十大报告提出“健全全面从严治党体系”,这是加强新时代党的建设的重大举措。必须深刻认识到,全面从严治党永远在路上,党的自我革命永远在路上。我们党作为长期执政的马克思主义政党,党的远大目标和历史使命,党的队伍的庞大规模和广泛分布,党面临的重大风险和严峻挑战,都要求必须健全全面从严治党体系,把党建设得更加坚强有力。只有整体地而不是局部地、系统地而不是零碎地、持久地而不是短暂地、高标准地而不是一般化地全面从严治党,全面推进党的自我净化、自我完善、自我革新、自我提高,才能使我们党坚守初心使命,始终成为中国特色社会主义事业的坚强领导核心。 习近平总书记强调:“全面从严治党体系应是一个内涵丰富、功能完备、科学规范、运行高效的动态系统。”健全全面从严治党体系,需要坚持制度治党、依规治党,更加突出党的各方面建设有机衔接、联动集成、协同协调,更加突出体制机制的健全完善和法规制度的科学有效,更加突出运用治理的理念、系统的观念、辩证的思维管党治党建设党。要坚持内容上全涵盖,党的建设推进到哪里,全面从严治党体系就要构建到哪里,把全面从严治党贯穿于党的建设各方面;要坚持对象上全覆盖,从严抓好领导干部队伍、党员队伍、各级党组织建设,重点是抓好“关键少数”;要坚持责任上全链条,压实各级党委(党组)全面从严治党主体责任,增强管党治党意识、落实管党治党责任;要坚持制度上全贯通,用制度促进全面从严治党体系贯通联动,真正实现制度治党、依规治党。只有进一步健全全面从严治党体系,使全面从严治党各项工作更好体现时代性、把握规律性、富于创造性,才能把全面从严治党引向深入,做到管党有方、治党有力、建党有效。 全面建设社会主义现代化国家、全面推进中华民族伟大复兴,关键在党。全面从严治党是党永葆生机活力、走好新的赶考之路的必由之路。新征程上,我们不知还要爬多少坡、过多少坎、经历多少风风雨雨、克服多少艰难险阻。永远保持赶考的清醒和谨慎,驰而不息推进全面从严治党,不断健全全面从严治党体系,把党的伟大自我革命进行到底,以党的自我革命引领社会革命,我们就一定能向历史和人民交出新的优异答卷、创造新的更大奇迹。 (文图:赵筱尘 巫邓炎) [责编:天天中] 阅读剩余全文() |
