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.
传统文化需要符合时代潮流的创新表达****** “天妤”，一个沉睡千年的飞天少女，被神秘空间元境唤醒后，回想起千年前之事。当年，洞窟受损，壁画脱落。如今，苏醒过来的她，决定来到人间收集碎片，复原壁画，重佑人间……“天妤”不是玄幻小说中的人物，而是一个虚拟数字人。过去一年，“天妤”以收集壁画碎片为线索，将中国传统文化元素进行数字化演绎，持续向世界讲述中国传统文化的故事，在海内外收获了大量拥趸。(见1月4日《光明日报》) 所谓数字人，是指通过计算机图形渲染、动作捕捉、深度学习、语音合成等技术打造的虚拟或仿真人物。从初代平面二次元形象，到以虚拟主播为代表的数字人2.0时代，数字人不断更新迭代。2022年，数字人大量涌现，除了“天妤”，还有中国文物交流中心的“文夭夭”、新华网的“筱竹”、浙江卫视的“谷小雨”、敦煌研究院的“伽瑶”、国家博物馆的“艾雯雯”、中华书局的“苏东坡数字人”等，他们或化身为文博场所的导游，或成为文化短剧的主角，或担任对外传播的文化大使，以又潮又酷的方式讲述着中国传统文化。 文化是一个民族最深沉的血脉基因和历史智慧。传承弘扬传统文化，是提高国家文化软实力、塑造民众文化自信的重要环节。在迅猛发展的数字化时代，传承弘扬传统文化要尽力避免陷入“注意力危机”，要打好“注意力争夺战”，把传统文化中的精髓提炼出来，再以受众喜闻乐见的方式把它推广出去、传承下去。 如今，科技赋能于人们工作、学习、生活等方方面面，与现代社会深度融合，它也完全可以成为推动传统文化传承与创新的一种力量，使传统文化“活”过来、“动”起来，走进越来越多人的烟火生活。 用数字人传播传统文化，更贴近年轻人的诉求与审美。年轻人是国家未来的接班人和建设者，也应该成为传统文化的学习者、践行者、传承者，年轻人与传统文化可以也应该“破圈”相拥。数字人既有好看的“皮囊”，又有丰满的“灵魂”，对年轻人的吸引力和影响力不可小觑。据报道，受“天妤”影响，很多青少年给自己化起了“国风妆”，甚至引发海外美妆达人竞相模仿。 2021年10月，由北京理工大学等科研院所共同发起的“虚拟数字人”项目——“数字梅兰芳”亮相，其通过高逼真度实时数字人技术，复原了京剧大师梅兰芳先生的形态、声音及面部表情，以另一种形式传承京剧文化。彼时，“梅兰芳孪生数字人”现身梅兰芳大剧院，与台下观众互动：“距离我上一次登台已经过去了60多年，没想到我们又重逢了，要感谢科技的进步，期待我们今后的见面会有更多的形式。”“数字梅兰芳”吸引年轻人与京剧国粹亲密接触，让人们看到了传统戏曲振兴的更多希望。 近年来，随着文化自信理念深入人心，“国潮”“国风”正在变成年轻人的时尚和情怀。在这个大背景下，传统文化故事符合现代审美的新讲法、年轻化讲法应该更多。传统文化多一些生动鲜活，传承和表达多一些创造性，我们的传统文化自然会星河长明，璀璨夺目。 何勇海 凤凰彩票地图 |
