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.
“老漂族”心理健康需重视****** 近年来，一些老人为帮助远在他乡的子女带孩子而成为“老漂族”，其中不少人由于不适应新的生活环境而产生心理问题。本市心理咨询师杨秀华提示，子女要高度关注“老漂族”心理健康，多花时间与老人沟通，表现出足够的包容和体谅，给予老人更多的精神慰藉和情感支持。 “老漂族”主要是指那些年龄在50-70岁，为了帮助子女照顾孙辈，或为帮助子女发展事业，离开家乡，来到子女所在的城市生活的老人，能够和子女、孙辈生活在一起，是多么美妙的尽享天伦的画面，但环境的改变、社交的缺失和习俗的不同，以及医疗、出行等多方面的不便，让不少“老漂族”会感觉无所适从，感到孤单寂寞，还可能因育儿观念、生活方式等差异与子女产生矛盾，长此以往，很容易出现一些心理问题。 杨秀华提示，子女要有足够的包容和体谅，给予老人更多的精神慰藉和情感支持，多花时间与老人沟通交流，给父母足够的关注，给老人一个倾诉的出口。当父母刚从家乡来到新环境，要给老人一个适应的过程，积极帮助老人熟悉今后的生活环境，带着父母多到新地方转一转、走一走，讲讲新地方的生活习惯、传统习俗、市井民情等，让老人心里有数、做事有底。父母帮忙照看孙辈、打理家务，子女不能彻底放手不管、心安理得地享受父母的照顾，而是应该和父母分工合作，全家人一起创造和谐、轻松、幸福的生活。在节假日里，子女应该多带着父母和孩子到户外活动，丰富日常生活，避免父母的生活过于呆板单一；鼓励父母多参与社会活动，多结识新的朋友，拓展朋友圈，在新的环境中建立新的人际关系。 从老人的角度来说，很多“老漂族”都是为了帮助孩子更好地工作和生活，选择背井离乡，要有“既来之、则安之”的心态，转变旧有的养老观念，积极适应新环境。主动与孩子沟通交流，遇到烦恼和实际困难，不要憋在心里不说，及时和孩子沟通能解决不少问题。要主动融入周围环境，平时带孩子在社区、公园等地方玩时，多和年龄相仿的邻居、老人聊天，一起锻炼。现在社区经常举办各类活动，还有各类舞蹈、合唱等团队，老人可以多参与活动，在空闲时间学些自己感兴趣的事，逐渐积累新的朋友圈子，丰富自己的精神文化生活。平时多关注本地的新闻报道，多关注有关异地医疗、养老落户等方面的政策，维护自身的合法权益。当与子女在理念上出现差异时，多沟通、学习、倾听，积极学习新鲜事物。在节假日时，可以回老家探亲、放松身心。（记者刘波） 快三投注地图 |
