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.
《流浪地球2》路演票被炒至2200元?复苏中的市场更需呵护****** 《流浪地球2》路演票被炒至2200元?复苏中的市场更需呵护 定价该怎么定、限定在什么样的区间里,这些还是应该由影院和片方掌握,不能任由黄牛胡作非为。既然组织了路演,那就应该组织好,绝不可敷衍了事 《流浪地球2》无疑是今年春节档最受关注的电影作品之一,不仅在票房和口碑上得到双丰收,也打破了续集电影不如前作的“怪圈”。骄人成绩的获得,当然和主创团队的努力与付出分不开。从正月初五(1月26日)开始,主创团队就辗转于各大城市路演,与粉丝见面交流,准备12天走12座城。 然而,很想和该片主要演员及创作者见见面的观众却发现,通过公开渠道很难买到路演的票,而部分城市站的路演票价最高已被黄牛叫到2200元一张,且位置随机分配,甚至还能与《流浪地球2》到场的主创人员合影,有黄牛称与刘德华合影4万元、与吴京合影2万元。这让很多该片的影迷和粉丝难以接受,业内专业人士也指出,炒作路演票,有可能给高质量影片造成负面影响,顺带伤害粉丝。 乘兴而来的影迷败兴而归,确实很影响他们的热情。此类事件出现,也给电影本身带来了不太正面的感观。要看到,影迷的热情和路演热度这么高,不仅源于《流浪地球2》自身的艺术质量过硬,也和中国电影市场在春节档的强劲反弹、快速复苏有关。但春节档的强势表现,似乎还不足以宣告中国电影市场已经完全“回血”。 单看《流浪地球2》,据悉其初期预计制作成本为6亿元,目前有说法称最终成本为11亿,另有宣发费用2亿,该片的票房需要达到39亿元才能回本。如果此说法为真,那还只是回本,尚不敢谈盈利,这可能也就解释了,明明势头喜人,该片主创为什么还要忙着在各地路演。 也因此,对于中国电影的市场行为,不应该随意下结论,也别忙着批判,当下的我们更应该珍惜和呵护。路演的根本目的还是吸引更多观众到影院来观影,试想,如果主创团队和影院大张旗鼓地宣传,而最终无人问津,这样只会给市场带来打击和伤害。客观地说,中国电影还在恢复元气的过程中,而这个过程也是最需要呵护的。 关于《流浪地球2》的路演,既然影片每天上座率有保证,而且口碑也得到了影迷的肯定,片方想必不会在路演上剑走偏锋,毕竟比起票房,路演的收入只是杯水车薪。同样,影院一般也不想因为路演的风波而影响到影迷热情,这等于搬石头砸了自己的脚。主要问题恐怕还是出在承办各城市路演的组织人员身上,有人将票放给黄牛想趁此机会捞一笔,而黄牛也借机哄抬市场价格,造成了路演的乱象。 说到底,整治这一不良倾向,还是要从规范市场的规则入手。从路演的组织和流程来看,影迷有机会和刘德华、吴京等演员合影、交流,还能在公开场合发言,因此票价相对较高,也不是完全没有道理。只是,定价该怎么定、限定在什么样的区间里,这些还是应该由影院和片方掌握,绝不能任由黄牛胡作非为。一句话,既然组织了路演,那就应该组织好,绝不可敷衍了事。 纵观这个春节档,并非每一部电影都能像《流浪地球2》一样取得好成绩,有的影片本身有可圈可点之处,但因为竞争的激烈而遭受了一定挫折。这也提醒我们,中国电影市场的健康发展,不可能单单依靠某一部影片或者某几位演员,最关键的还是要让更多观众心甘情愿地掏钱买票。哪怕只是一场电影的路演活动,也要让影迷感到满意,保护观众的观影热情,呵护复苏中的电影市场。 成都商报-红星新闻特约评论员 余晓 中国网客户端 国家重点新闻网站,9语种权威发布 |
