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.
“慢撒气”化解房企风险怎么做？中国多部委释放信号****** (经济观察)“慢撒气”化解房企风险怎么做？中国多部委释放信号 中新社北京1月11日电 (记者 庞无忌)2023年，防范化解房地产市场风险被视为中国楼市调控政策的重中之重。住房和城乡建设部部长倪虹近日表示，以“慢撒气”的方式，稳妥化解房企资金链断裂风险。“慢撒气”怎么做？这对房地产企业来说意味着什么？ 对于2023年的房地产工作，倪虹近日表示，概括起来是三句话：增信心、防风险和促转型。其中，针对化解房企风险，倪虹指出，以“慢撒气”的方式，稳妥化解房企资金链断裂风险。重点是增加房企开发贷、并购贷和购房人的按揭贷，满足合理融资需求。 广东省城规院住房政策研究中心首席研究员李宇嘉认为，“慢撒气”实际上指的是在不发生重大系统性风险的前提下，让存量风险有序释放，“去腐生肌”。这个过程中可能会有阵痛，但这是由旧模式向新模式过渡必须承担的成本。 针对房企风险，金融监管部门也作出部署。中国央行、银保监会日前联合召开的主要银行信贷工作座谈会明确，要有效防范化解优质头部房企风险，实施改善优质房企资产负债表计划。其中提到，聚焦专注主业、合规经营、资质良好、具有一定系统重要性的优质房企，开展“资产激活”“负债接续”“权益补充”“预期提升”四项行动。 李宇嘉指出，会议释放的信号很清晰，就是要对优质的、稳健经营的房企积极纾困。会议提及的四项行动，其实也是监管部门总结出资金可以投入，并能安全退出的四种类型，这也将是修复房企资产负债表的四种渠道。未来，机构进场推动收并购、资产重组，或者扶持优质房企，也是从这四个渠道进行。 这四项行动包含哪些内容？ 上海易居房地产研究院研究总监严跃进表示，资产激活意味着要把房地产企业的各类资产盘活，包括待开发的土地和待出售的房产、预售资金的加快回笼、资产证券化的加快推进、REITs等产品的加入等。负债接续包括负债展期、债转股、出售资产以清偿债务等工作。权益补充意味着后续要鼓励各类优质企业积极做战略投资者。预期提升则主要通过减少企业违约、调整销售目标等方式，修复投资者对于房企预期，促进“金融-房企-销售市场”等渠道的顺畅。 值得注意的是，加大支持力度并不等于房企可以“等靠要”。李宇嘉提醒，今年相关政策倾向也督促出险企业放弃幻想，断臂求生，以适宜的价格，尽快出让股权和项目。 在新的发展模式下，58安居客房产研究院分院院长张波认为，优质的头部房企、“三道红线”绿档房企、提前部署拿地未来有货可卖的房企以及聚焦主航道、稳扎稳打不激进的房企将迎来更大的发展机会。而前期发展脚步迈得太大，或是产业布局过于多元化的企业，容易出现资金问题，最终难在经济产业升级转型的大潮中深耕下去。 当然，房地产业链条环环相扣，要化解房企风险最终还需要整体市场的预期回暖、销售恢复，企业才能恢复“造血”功能。这就需要保交楼、增信心。 李宇嘉指出，今年，保交楼可以说是没有任何商量余地的任务，一定要夯实房企的主体责任、地方支付的属地责任。对房企来说，需要放弃过去“高举高打”、寻求短期暴利的经营模式，要顺应国家对于房地产新模式的方向，积极参与保障性租赁住房、城乡融合、区域开发等建设，谋求未来可持续的、细水长流的收益。(完) 搜索 复制 彩票驿站地图 |
