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.
浙江“解题”共同富裕：把缩小三大差距作为主攻方向****** 中新网杭州1月12日电(记者 项菁)五年来，浙江城乡居民人均可支配收入继续稳居各省区第1位，城乡居民收入倍差从2.04缩小到1.94以内。聚焦共同富裕愿景，今后五年，该省把缩小三大差距作为主攻方向，目标到2027年城乡居民收入倍差缩小到1.9以内。 浙江省第十四届人民代表大会第一次会议12日在杭州开幕，浙江省省长王浩作政府工作报告时透露上述信息。 “十四五”开局，浙江被赋予高质量发展建设共同富裕示范区的使命。共同富裕作为一场以缩小地区差距、城乡差距、收入差距为标志的社会变革，浙江之所以能够先行先试，关键原因在于上述三大差距较小。 也由此，对于探路共富的浙江而言，缩小三大差距仍是主攻点。 发展进程中，区域间有山海之别。浙江则加大统筹区域发展力度，提升协调发展水平。  浙江省第十四届人民代表大会第一次会议开幕 张斌 摄过去一年，该省推动杭州宁波唱好“双城记”、四大都市区和中心城市协同发展。同时探索山区海岛县高质量发展新路子，26个“产业飞地”落地建设，山区26县生产总值增速高于浙江全省平均。 浙江，七山一水二分田，曾让“山”与“海”之间横亘着一条区域发展不平衡不充分的沟壑。为发挥“山”与“海”的特色优势，浙江实施“山海协作工程”，推动陆海统筹、山海互济。 2022年是浙江“山海协作工程”实施20周年。迈过“新起点”，浙江如何持续提高区域协调发展水平？ 政府工作报告指出，今后五年，浙江要推动山区海岛县高质量发展，实施新一轮“山海协作”，加强新型帮共体建设，提高“产业飞地”“科创飞地”“消薄飞地”建设质效；精准迭代“一县一策”，推动山区县做强“一县一业”主导产业、海岛县完善“一岛一功能”布局体系。 县城连接着城与乡，既是城镇化的主战场，也是缩小地区差距、城乡差距的支撑点。 未来五年，浙江将聚焦增强县城产业平台带动能力、基础设施支撑能力、公共服务保障能力、生态环境承载能力，支持县城做大做强特色主导产业，完善交通、水电气等基础设施，优化教育、医疗、养老等公共服务供给，提升人居环境质量。 “到2027年县城人口占县域比重年均提高0.8个百分点，努力打造以县城为重要载体的城镇化建设示范省。”王浩如是说。 迈向共同富裕，把好“公平”之秤，农村谓之关键。 五年来，浙江城乡一体化步伐加快。2022年该省推进强村富民乡村集成改革，集体经济年经营性收入50万元以上行政村比例超过50%。 王浩提到，今后五年，浙江将全面推进宜居宜业和美乡村建设，提高乡村基础设施完备度、公共服务便利度、人居环境舒适度，“让农民就地过上现代文明生活”。 在深化“千村示范、万村整治”工程方面，今年该省将创建和美乡村示范县10个、示范带22条；发展壮大新型农村集体经济，年收入30万元以上且经营性收入15万元以上的行政村占比超过90%。 共同富裕关乎城乡发展，亦涉及分配问题。构建“橄榄型”分配结构是共同富裕的重要标志，浙江深谙。 政府工作报告指出，2022年浙江城乡居民人均可支配收入分别增长4.1%、6.6%。未来五年，浙江要千方百计增加群众收入、增进民生福祉。 从就业维度看，该省将完善重点群体就业创业支持政策，加强新时代浙江工匠培育，深化职业技能培训，强化灵活就业和新就业形态劳动者权益保障，推动更多低收入群众进入中等收入群体行列。同时健全工资合理增长机制，最低工资标准最高档年均增长7%左右。(完)
