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.
原创说唱歌曲《坐着高铁去看海》上线 唱响中国对外开放新篇章****** 中新网昆明1月19日电 (记者 缪超)“朝辞春城彩云间，坐着高铁去看海，满目青山看不够，转眼海风扑面来……”1月19日，由中国新闻网和中国新闻社云南分社联合出品的原创说唱歌曲《坐着高铁去看海》正式上线，老中青三代音乐人共同谱写中国对外开放的崭新篇章。 原创说唱歌曲《坐着高铁去看海》由云南著名词作家蒋明初、青年作曲家岳少鹏创作，云南流行音乐制作人郭烜宇编曲，国家一级作曲家万里作为音乐指导。云南著名女歌手邓国清、潘薇羽、说唱歌手明新杰联袂演唱，在中老铁路动车中实景拍摄MV。歌曲通过中国风演唱混搭说唱形式，让人耳目一新。 该歌曲在中国新闻网首发后，将在中国、老挝、缅甸、柬埔寨、孟加拉国、吉尔吉斯斯坦、哈萨克斯坦等国家的新闻媒体和社交平台相继推出。  图为《坐着高铁去看海》MV剧照 主办方供图位于中国西南的云南省，是中国连接亚欧大陆腹地与中南半岛、印度洋的枢纽。千百年来，蜀身毒道、南方丝绸之路、滇越铁路，到如今的“八出省五出境”铁路网，让边疆云南与外界的人员流通、经贸往来、文化交流绵延赓续。 云南，优势在区位，出路在开放。《坐着高铁去看海》词作者蒋明初表示，这首歌从茶马古道唱到滇越铁路，再唱到中老铁路，唱出了云南、也是中国千百年来对外交往交流的历史，也唱出近年来云南积极参与“一带一路”建设，补齐交通基础设施短板，加速对外连通的努力和意愿。  图为《坐着高铁去看海》MV剧照 主办方供图2023年是“一带一路”倡议提出十周年。作为“一带一路”标志性工程，中老铁路开通一年多来，促进了中老两国经济社会发展，见证了中老友谊历久弥坚，不仅成为两国互联互通的桥梁，也成为了民心相通的纽带。在今年的云南省两会上，云南省省长王予波作政府工作报告时表示，云南将持续扩大中老铁路黄金效应，并适时开行跨境旅客列车。 古稀之年的蒋明初告诉记者，他为这首歌作词时，恰逢中老铁路开通运营一周年，于是他在歌词中写下“中老铁路通江达海东西南北大融合”，期待中老铁路能够不断向前延伸，并发挥示范带动效应，加快中老泰铁路和中越、中缅国际铁路大通道建设的推进，帮助云南实现通江达海的开放愿景。 “说唱并不是西方独有的音乐形式，比如苏州评弹、京韵大鼓，这些都是中国自己的说唱音乐。云南民族众多，语言丰富，很多地方是‘说比唱好听’，像红河的建水说唱，昭通唱书等都是云南民族民间音乐里的说唱形式。”《坐着高铁去看海》的作曲者是49岁的云南流行音乐学会常务理事岳少鹏。他表示，这首歌之所以选择有些云南味道的中国风音乐混搭说唱的形式，是想表达云南人对外文化交流的愿望，也希望世界各地的人们能够来到云南，了解这里丰富多彩的民族风情、民族音乐和民族民间说唱。 这首歌的说唱部分，由1999年出生于云南保山的说唱歌手明新杰演绎。他之前曾尝试用保山方言表演说唱，受到当地年轻人的追捧。“说唱强调个性，云南年轻一代说唱歌手应充分挖掘本土民族民间说唱元素，再将之与世界各地不同音乐元素融合，相信一定能呈现出不一样的精彩。” 据了解，《坐着高铁去看海》将作为2023年“春暖花开”中印柬蒙四国迎春文艺晚会重磅曲目于20日晚上演，为海内外中华儿女和世界各国友人送去新春祝福。 中老铁路只是起点，不是终点，钢铁巨龙将承载着友谊、和谐、梦想和希望，跨越万里山海，驶向更美好的明天。(完)
