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。
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.
数字藏品“破圈” 银行业数字化转型提速****** 1月16日,中国银联推出的“用银联 纳百福”系列数字藏品(第三期)开通线上申领。该系列数字藏品用100句祝福绘成100张“福”字帖,前两期一经上线就受到众多用户青睐。近年来,已有多家机构布局数字藏品赛道,助力银行业数字化转型,探索银行与客户交互的新途径。 探索新形式 1月16日,中国银联推出的“用银联 纳百福”系列数字藏品(第三期)开通线上申领。该系列数字藏品活动,通过区块链技术,将“福”字制成数字藏品,每一份数字“福”字在银联区块链上形成唯一标识,可永久存证。该系列藏品用100句祝福,绘成100张“福”字帖,每款“福”字发行1万份数字藏品,每位用户每款“福”字限领1份。 该藏品分别于1月5日、1月11日、1月16日、1月21日进行四期发行。本期发行量为20款,共20万份。就前两期发行情况而言,该系列数字藏品相当火爆,在1月11日10时上线的30万份“福”字,截至1月12日下午已被全部领完。 此外,中国银联1月9日还推出“五兔迎春”数字藏品,分别以航天、海陆丝绸之路、农业、工业、体育为主题设计了五个不同的兔子形象。 近年来,金融机构纷纷布局数字藏品赛道,并以新奇的形式成功“破圈”。中国银行在第五届进博会期间,限时发行3款特色数字藏品,并结合3D互动带来立体化的数字珍藏体验。 除参与数字藏品发行外,部分银行还深耕数字藏品的保存、分享、使用等功能。例如,工行发布的手机银行8.0版本中,在首页添加“数字藏品馆”专栏,还将通过活动抽奖、任务触发、限时领取等多种形式不定期限量发行数字藏品,用户可领取、查看和使用工行发行的数字藏品,并将数字藏品用于头像,塑造独一无二的数字形象。 助力数字化转型 据中国证券报记者不完全统计,2022年以来,已有工商银行、农业银行、百信银行等十多家金融机构推出数字藏品。在分析人士看来,当前银行业正处于深度转型的进程之中,借助此类形式能够顺应市场关注热点,拓展品牌影响力,也能在打造多元金融生态方面作出创新。金融机构通过发行数字藏品,在提升用户活跃度的同时,也有助于促进数字金融业务的发展,丰富产品与服务种类。 例如,此次中国银联推出的“用银联 纳百福”数字藏品就需要用户下载云闪付App才可申领,参与部分活动还需要进行注册和绑定银行卡实名认证,这都有利于数字金融业务的推广。此外,在该活动中,还包含了信用卡分期免息、消费支付返现等福利。 中国银行也表示,对元宇宙产品的创新是中国银行顺应数字经济发展、构建数字金融的全新探索,中国银行也将始终秉承“融通世界 造福社会”使命,持续推进“金融+科技+场景”转型发展。 “目前数字藏品被年轻人广泛关注,既新颖又有热度,并具备成本低且自带礼品的属性,是银行与客户交互的新途径和桥梁。”博通分析金融行业资深分析师王蓬博称,另外,数字藏品属于数字科技范畴,从推动自身数字化转型的角度来看,银行也会积极布局该赛道。 坚持与实体价值对应 不少业内人士认为,目前银行业推出的数字藏品主要还是以营销宣传为主,未来可进一步加强数字藏品在多种金融场景中的运用。 易观分析金融行业高级分析师苏筱芮表示,可将数字藏品与银行传统业务进行融合,赋予传统业务新的生机与活力,在巩固客户、打造银行多元生态方面做出创新改进。 东北证券传媒行业首席分析师宋雨翔认为,未来数字藏品产业的核心可聚焦在平台端。“平台直达终端客户,具有用户运营优势,再通过转赠交易等玩法增加用户参与黏性,获取收益。” 此外,在数字藏品“去金融化”的基调上,银行要避免夸大宣传,并引导客户理性收藏。对合作的第三方平台进行资质审核,避免数字藏品出现金融化、证券化等乱象,避免在二次转卖中引发金融风险。 渤海银行副行长、首席风险管理官赵志宏曾撰文表示,数字藏品经营中,对风险乱象的有力防范、对监管合规的及时落实是至为重要的。数字藏品应该以服务于实体经济、促进社会福祉为最终价值的落脚点。商业银行坚持数字藏品与“实体价值”的对应性,坚决避免数字藏品被“过度创新”,成为炒作工具。 (文图:赵筱尘 巫邓炎) [责编:天天中] 阅读剩余全文() ![]() 购彩地图 |
