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.
四川发挥资源优势 打响少数民族村寨品牌****** 中新网成都1月4日电 (王利文 何芦恒 高嘉琪)作为西昌火把节体验点之一的凉山彝族自治州西昌市白庙村，近年来依托独有的文化资源积极发展乡村旅游业，网红民宿、民族文化演艺中心等“网红打卡地”与山水、稻田的诗画乡村相映成趣。白庙村彝家美食农家乐老板丰福全透露：“节假日每天能接待四五桌人，一年至少收入七八万元。” 少数民族特色村寨凝聚着民族文化的历史结晶，在产业结构、民居式样、村寨风貌以及风俗习惯等方面都集中体现了民族地区经济社会发展特点和文化特色。少数民族特色村寨与脱贫攻坚、乡村振兴、基层治理紧密衔接，是铸牢中华民族共同体意识的重要窗口和有效载体。近年来，四川积极发挥少数民族村寨资源优势，推进民族地区全域旅游与生态经济发展“多点开花”，带领当地居民吃上了“旅游饭”。  甘孜藏族自治州丹巴县的藏族特色建筑。 唐启浩 摄 游客在阿坝藏族羌族自治州黑水县羊茸村游玩。 唐启浩 摄 羊茸村妇女在做民宿管家，正与游客交流。 唐启浩 摄甘孜藏族自治州丹巴县是川西高原最早启动乡村旅游的涉藏区县之一。矗立于山野的碉楼藏寨是丹巴县最具嘉绒藏族特色的乡村风光，“大渡河第一城”“中国最美景观村落”“美人谷”等旅游形象品牌已成为其代名词。丹巴罗布民宿位于丹巴县甲居镇甲居二村，红白相间的院墙和别致的碉窗展现着嘉绒地区古老的建筑文明。看着停满自驾游游客车辆的院子，返乡创业的老板罗布很是感慨：“发展特色民族村寨，不仅提高了收入，也弘扬了我们嘉绒藏族古老的文化。” “游客在藏寨感受锅庄舞蹈、体验藏绣和酿酒技艺、参与赛马节等活动。”甲居二村党支部书记曾明富介绍，村中像罗布民宿这样特色鲜明的独栋嘉绒藏寨有50余户。旅游旺季，全村每天要接待上千名游客，日收入超过20万元。 在广袤的四川民族地区，一个个少数民族特色村寨像一粒粒珍珠串起乡村振兴的美丽图景。在被誉为“向幸福出发之地”的阿坝藏族羌族自治州黑水县羊茸村是嘉绒藏族聚居村，曾因山高路远、交通不便，生产生活条件艰苦。2013年，在四川省民族宗教事务委员会的支持下，500万元民族类专项资金投入到当地民族村寨建设。如今的羊茸村，完成了由传统农业向现代旅游业的转型，2021年旅游总收入达638万元。 据羊茸哈德旅游服务有限公司现场运营总监诺布卓玛介绍，客人喜欢体验当地文化和生活方式，亲手磨青稞、做糌粑，去山谷徒步、野餐、放牛、种地。“我们根据市场需要推出了特色体验项目和特色住宿，非常受欢迎。” 在大力推进全域旅游的当下，像羊茸村这种依靠旅游发展致富的民族村寨正在四川如雨后春笋般兴起。截至2020年底，四川有124个村寨被国家民委命名为“中国少数民族特色村寨”。2021年，四川省民族宗教事务委员会在《关于实施民族团结进步示范工程的指导意见》中指出，要聚焦民族地区乡村振兴，加大少数民族特色村寨保护与发展力度，力争“十四五”期间新增100个“中国少数民族特色村寨”。 随着四川民族团结进步事业的全面推进，少数民族特色村寨将在巩固拓展脱贫攻坚成果与乡村振兴有效衔接、促进各民族交往交流交融、构筑中华民族共有精神家园等方面，发挥更积极的作用。(完)
