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.
2022年12月份70城中 近八成新房售价环比下降****** 本报记者 孟 珂 1月16日,国家统计局发布数据显示,去年12月份,70个大中城市中商品住宅销售价格下降城市个数有所增加,各线城市商品住宅销售价格环比持平或下降,一线城市同比上涨、二三线城市同比下降。 从环比看,去年12月份,70个大中城市中,新建商品住宅销售价格环比下降城市有55个,比11月份增加4个;二手住宅销售价格环比下降城市有63个,比11月份增加1个。 广东省城规院住房政策研究中心首席研究员李宇嘉在接受《证券日报》记者采访时表示,房价下跌城市增加,当下楼市供给需求两端表现仍然偏弱。“三支箭”落地需要推进,特别是商品房销售还较为低迷,开发商资金链依旧紧张,降价促销是房企不得不为的选择。 具体来看,去年12月份,一线城市新建商品住宅销售价格环比由11月份下降0.2%转为持平。二手住宅销售价格环比下降0.5%,降幅比11月份扩大0.1个百分点。其中,北京、上海新房价格分别环比上涨0.2%、0.4%,广州、深圳新房价格分别环比下降0.4%、0.3%;二手房方面,北上广深价格均环比下降,降幅分别为0.4%、0.5%、0.6%、0.5%。 此外,二线城市新建商品住宅销售价格环比下降0.3%,降幅比11月份扩大0.1个百分点;二手住宅销售价格环比下降0.4%,降幅与11月份相同。三线城市新建商品住宅销售价格环比下降0.3%,降幅与11月份相同;二手住宅销售价格环比下降0.4%,降幅比11月份收窄0.1个百分点。 从同比看,去年12月份,70个大中城市中,新建商品住宅销售价格同比下降城市有53个,比11月份增加2个;二手住宅销售价格同比下降城市有64个,个数与11月份相同。 去年12月份,一线城市新建商品住宅销售价格同比上涨2.5%,涨幅与11月份相同;二手住宅销售价格同比上涨0.6%,涨幅比11月份回落0.6个百分点。二线城市新建商品住宅销售价格同比下降1.1%,降幅比11月份收窄0.1个百分点;二手住宅销售价格同比下降3.2%,降幅与11月份相同。三线城市新建商品住宅和二手住宅销售价格同比分别下降3.9%和4.8%,降幅均与11月份相同。 中原地产首席分析师张大伟对《证券日报》记者表示,在多重因素影响下,去年标杆房企销售萎缩,土地市场流标持续,购房者信心不足,整体楼市持续低迷。 值得关注的是,1月5日,中国人民银行网站发布消息称,近日,人民银行、银保监会发布《关于建立新发放首套住房个人住房贷款利率政策动态调整长效机制的通知》,决定建立首套住房贷款利率政策动态调整机制。 据中指研究院监测显示,截至1月11日,年内已有22个省市发布22条楼市宽松政策,主要涉及优化限购政策、降低首付比例、提高公积金额度、发放购房补贴、优化预售资金监管等方面。 例如:1月5日,据乌鲁木齐市房产局微信公众号消息,近日,新疆乌鲁木齐市人民政府发布《关于促进房地产业平稳发展的22条措施》中提到,2023年首次购买本市辖区范围内,面积130平方米(含)以内新建商品住房的,按税法规定缴纳契税并取得税务部门开具的契税完税凭证的纳税人,契税金额的50%由财政资金给予补贴。 1月9日,东莞市住建局更新“莞e认购”小程序中的温馨提示内容,并对“关于差别化住房信贷政策”进行了调整。其中,对首次购买住房且无房无贷的居民家庭,贷款最低首付款比例为20%,利率下限为LPR-20BP(即4.1%)。 展望后市,李宇嘉表示,近期政策全面发力,刚需不断释放,楼市预期向好。预计2023年二季度热点城市交易量将逐步企稳并缓慢回升,有望在下半年带动都市圈周围城市好转。(证券日报) 中国网客户端 国家重点新闻网站,9语种权威发布 |
