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.
后冬奥时代，如何促进全民健身、推动场馆利用？****** 中新网北京1月17日电 (记者 刘文曦 杜燕)正在召开北京市政协十四届一次会议上，后冬奥时代如何弘扬北京冬奥精神、如何促进全民健身、如何推动冬奥场馆赛后的可持续利用等成为委员们关注的话题之一。  北京市政协委员李娜。 受访者供图来自体育界别的北京市政协委员、北京体育大学中国游泳运动学院副院长李娜就加强青少年户外体育活动，促进青少年身心健康发展提出建议。她称，要鼓励学生在课后开展集体类体育运动项目，在锻炼中交流感情，在汗水中提升毅力。尤其在北京，相关部门应围绕弘扬北京冬奥精神出台专门的行动计划，组织青少年前往冬奥场馆等地，参观、学习，交流，让学生在参观中加强沟通，在实践中领悟冬奥精神，切实推动北京冬奥精神在京华大地形成生动实践。 中国民主同盟北京市委员会认为，冬奥场馆赛后可持续利用面临的主要问题有：冰雪项目的亚文化地位限制冬奥场馆赛后可持续利用；政策扶持的可持续性有待加强；受疫情持续影响，冬奥场馆赛后可持续利用进程受阻等。 针对上述问题，中国民主同盟北京市委员会从政府政策制定、引导市场和社会支持、冬季项目文化提升、冬奥场馆综合效益协调发挥和注重科技赋能五个方面提出应对策略。其中在注重科技赋能助力场馆赛后可持续利用方面，建议保障科技成果的可持续利用；拓展科技成果的可持续利用；加强虚拟冬奥场馆建设，开展大众虚拟体育竞赛，虚拟参观旅游、虚拟健身等活动；加强“陆转雪”“陆转冰”技术应用。 中国民主建国会北京市委员会从服务城市旅游业和服务“全民健身”的层面就推动冬奥场馆赛后可持续利用提出建议。  国家速滑馆“冰丝带”。 北京国资公司供图北京作为举办城市，新建、临建、改建了诸多大型体育赛事场馆，“冰丝带”国家速度滑冰馆、国家高山跳台滑雪中心等是具有划时代意义的现代场馆建筑，具有极高的旅游观光等价值。中国民主建国会北京市委员会认为，2022年成功完成冬奥会和冬残奥会赛事后，将冬奥会场馆用于城市旅游业是一个方向。 中国民主建国会北京市委员会指出，从“全民健身”的层面看，可营造有利于滑雪产业良性发展的社会氛围。例如将北京冬奥与群众性滑雪运动的宣传有机结合，使更多的人参与到滑雪运动中，更多的社会资金投入到滑雪产业，也将有利于冬奥会场馆的赛后利用。 据《中国冰雪旅游发展报告(2020)》测算，预计到“十四五”规划末期的2025年，中国冰雪旅游人数将超过5亿人次，冰雪旅游收入超过1.1万亿元人民币。  国家跳台滑雪中心“雪如意”。 中新社记者 富田 摄围绕如何助力冰雪产业更好发展，台湾民主自治同盟北京市委员会建议，加快推进冰雪运动标准化建设，建立完善冰雪运动标准体系；加强政策资金等支持，修建冰雪运动场馆及完善配套服务设施满足群众需求；拓展冰雪竞赛表演市场，推进冰雪赛事活动市场化运作提升商业化优势；构建大冰雪产业格局，将冰雪与文旅、电商、健身休闲等领域深入融合；进一步促进教体融合，健全完善冰雪运动职业体系和冰雪人才培养体系。(完)
