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.
【新时代新征程新伟业】西南政法大学创新开展生态研学 云端共上“绿色大思政课”****** 中新网重庆12月19日电 (记者 钟旖)“小朋友们，垃圾桶有哪几种颜色？”“绿色、蓝色、红色、灰色”……当志愿者面对直播镜头抛出问题，在手机屏幕另一端的重庆巫溪县通城镇红路小学校学生们便迫不及待地抢着回答，一场“云端课堂”的环保知识竞答，满溢着热闹又有趣的气氛。 这是近日西南政法大学民商法学院学生走进重庆两江新区生活垃圾分类主题公园，开展绿色生态大思政课的生动一幕。 据介绍，自2022年11月起，该学院第七届新生骨干训练营的大学生们以民法典、长江保护法、环境保护法等为切口，陆续从人文、生态、历史、科技、智慧等领域展开研学实践探索。在聚焦重庆推动“生态优先、绿色发展、低碳转型”的进展成效的“生态研学”中，他们以山城绿水青山为“课本”，用多样化形式让生态文明意识渐入人心。  图为研学营志愿者云端趣味知识竞答。 钟旖 摄网络连线、实地讲解、环保科普、互动问答……记者跟随研学队伍看到，一大清早，13名来自西南政法大学民商法学院的各年级学生便集结完毕。在生活垃圾分类主题公园内，青年们各司其职，参观垃圾分类宣教中心、服务站、低碳之家、旧物利用空间及大件垃圾拆解车间；通过直播讲解垃圾分类的理念、做法及生态环境保护的创新“黑科技”；向社区居民介绍垃圾分类方法，传递低碳生活、绿色出行等环保理念，并对园区管理人员、游客等展开采访。 “通过线上‘云游’生活垃圾分类主题公园，小朋友参与知识竞答的热情很高，比平时在课堂上单纯讲知识效果要好很多。”正在巫溪县通城镇红路小学校支教的西南政法大学第24届研究生支教团志愿者夏开峰说，用通俗易懂的语言讲述法规中的垃圾分类，让小朋友们从心里树立起了环境保护的责任和义务。该校六年级学生刘磊上完课后说：“我们要像保护眼睛一样保护自然和生态环境。作为小学生，我们要从垃圾分类、节约资源这些一点一滴的小事做起，争做环保小卫士。” “这已经是我第3次参与环保普法活动。作为西政学子，我深刻意识到自己作为法律人的责任与担当。”西南政法大学民商法学院2022级研究生何家睿介绍说，除了线上直播，研学活动还嵌入了校园普法课、环保科普课、齐诵党的二十大报告关于生态文明建设重要论述等内容，后期同学们还将把实地研学过程形成“微调研报告”，进而传递保护生态环境人人有责的自觉意识。“未来，我将为提高青少年法治观念与法律意识助力，为加强社会主义法治文明建设持续贡献力量。”何家睿说。 “大思政课，就是要立足时代发展大格局，协同大主体，统筹大平台。”西南政法大学民商法学院党委书记张伟莉称，推动绿色发展首先要理念更新，尤其是在青少年阶段，牢固树立和践行“绿水青山就是金山银山”的理念。 张伟莉说，学院充分发挥法学学科优势，结合生态环保法律开展远程连线，是一项寓教于乐的工作，构建了一个互为教育主体和对象的大思政课堂。在这堂“绿色大思政课”中，大学生既是体验式的学习者，又是巫溪小学生的教育者，实现了教育和自我教育的有机结合。 她期待，青年学生在实践研学中，坚定理想信念，提升精神素养，锤炼过硬本领，践行使命担当，成为有志、有趣、有力量的法学学生，以更加饱满的热忱投入到祖国法治建设中。(完)
