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.
老牌国企显担当 贵州科晖药业日均产量增幅达50%****** 多彩贵州网讯 (本网记者 石琳婕 罗晟鸣)“科晖的这个氨咖黄敏片,经济实惠,疗效也不错。” “我们平时都会在家里买点感冒药,特别是娃娃的。比如这个“科晖”商标的小儿氨咖黄敏颗粒就很好。” 日前,在前往德江县等地调查新冠病毒感染重点药品市场需求时,记者多次听到受访群众提及“科晖”二字。1月5日,沿金清线,记者一行驱车20多公里,来到贵州省科晖制药有限公司(以下简称贵州科晖制药)。 贵州科晖制药被纳入《贵州省新冠预防与治疗相关药品地方品种推荐目录》(第一版)的相关药品 “我们是老百姓口中的老字号药企,主要生产感冒类药品,以解热镇痛、祛痰止咳为主。”贵州省科晖制药有限公司总经理李凤介绍,企业自成立以来,所生产药品价格实惠的同时,疗效确切。“价格低、疗效好”几乎成为了贵州科晖制药的代名词。 走进贵州科晖制药车间,生产线上,氨咖黄敏片和小儿化痰止咳颗粒正开足马力满负荷地生产着。夹杂着机器的轰鸣声,一幅紧锣密鼓的生产景象跃然眼前。 包装线上的工人正在手动包装药品 “现在我们一天的产量达到了8至10万盒以上,日产量增幅已达50%。”贵州省科晖制药有限公司生产负责人李辉介绍,在接到保供任务后,企业为了保证药品产量,把每分钟满产150盒的生产线从原先的120盒调至了149.5盒的满负荷生产状态。此外,每条生产线上还各增加10名员工,负责人工包装的工作。 与此同时,为保障生产线持续不断生产,贵州省科晖制药有限公司执行董事崔伟一度因原材料紧缺,购买渠道不畅等原因坐立不安:“在省、市、(区)各级工信部门及市场监督管理部门的积极协调和支持下,目前企业的药品原材料储备充足,价格稳定。” 制药车间的工人正将药品入箱打包 冲在生产第一线,亦不忘身后的社会责任。据李凤介绍,针对感冒退烧等相关药品供不应求的情况,企业第一时间启动应急预案,前后拒绝了上千件氨咖黄敏片省外采购订单。该药品适用于缓解普通感冒及流行性感冒引起的发热、头痛、四肢酸痛、打喷嚏、流鼻涕、鼻塞、咽痛等症状,且疗效确切。 来到贵州科晖制药库房,工作人员正在将刚包装好的药品,搬运至库区。“近期用药量暴增,我们的销售量较往年同期增幅达100%。”崔伟说,现在生产出来的药品,在检验合格、质量受权人放行后,就立即会被运走。运输周期也由原本的几天一次骤增至一天两次。 作为贵州省科技厅下属的贵州省制药行业的本土国有企业,贵州科晖制药自1989年建厂以来,始终承担着国有企业的责任和担当。发展至今,公司已形成集科研、生产和销售为一体的医药企业。截至目前,公司拥有颗粒剂、片剂胶囊剂3条GMP生产线,28个批准文号。 “接下来,我们还将持续发挥企业优势,继续提升药品的质量标准和优化生产工艺。为基层医疗基本用药保驾护航,为产出老百姓能够用得起的优质药品而努力。”李凤说。 (文图:赵筱尘 巫邓炎) [责编:天天中] 阅读剩余全文() |
