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.
特写：上海重症医学科专家下沉社区 给基层医护、民众吃“定心丸”******
作为市级专家组成员，皋源与浦东新区内另外50位专家共同对区内基层医院开展救治指导。 上海交通大学医学院附属仁济医院供图 中新网上海1月10日电 (陈静黄兴)10日，上午刚刚忙完重症医学科病房查房和救治工作，下午3时，上海交通大学医学院附属仁济医院重症医学科主任皋源又马不停蹄赶往自己对口负责的社区卫生服务中心指导救治。 自12月中旬起，上海市卫生健康委成立市级重症专家组，通过市级专家巡查会诊、落实双向转诊、定点下沉指导、远程会诊等方式，统筹安排重症救治专家力量，加强重症患者的预防与救治。作为市级专家组成员，皋源与浦东新区内另外50位来自重症、急诊、呼吸、小儿等领域的专家共同对区内基层医院开展救治指导。 “我们现在配备了呼吸机、除颤仪以及心电监护仪，同时储备了小分子药物。”10日，金杨社区卫生服务中心医务科陆萍为皋源介绍相关情况。对于来自市级三甲医院重症医学专家的指导，陆萍用“雪中送炭”一词形容。她表示，此前社区卫生服务中心更多承担着保障社区居民基础医疗的作用，而像现在这样收治重症患者，可以说是从零做起，缺乏重症患者救治和管理经验。三甲医院(综合性大医院)重症专家的指导，是给医护和患者吃下一颗定心丸。”陆萍说。
皋源认为，预防性的识别、预警，尽早将药物分配到患者手中，并做好及时转诊是社区下一步的重点任务。 上海交通大学医学院附属仁济医院供图 当天下午，皋源与社区卫生服务中心负责人、医务科、医生护理团队进行了一场交流会。陆萍和医生护理团队负责人准备了十几个问题，逐一向皋源请教。 交流会后，皋源直言，金杨社区卫生服务中心222名医、护、技术人员承担了周边20万民众的医疗服务任务，工作非常辛苦，但通过交流，可以用“惊喜”来形容。“他们在患者的分类和识别、药品使用宣教、血氧饱和度跟踪等方面做得很完善，也是在全上海范围内率先启动发热哨点门诊的中心之一，大家的知识储备很充分。” “下一阶段社区卫生服务中心可能面临更大的挑战：医护们要帮助二三级医疗机构出院患者康复、对相对轻症患者开展治疗等。”皋源坦率地说，“应该为社区卫生服务中心尽快配齐CT等设备，若该需求可以下沉，也能继续有效缓解三级医院急诊就诊秩序，尽早筛查出有肺部感染的患者。” 采访中，记者了解到，到目前为止，皋源已前往4家对口医院巡诊、参与会诊40余例、紧急会诊2例。“成立专家组，对这个片区整体危重患者的救治起到了一个指导或者帮助的作用。”皋源强调，现阶段除关注重症救治之外，预防性的识别、预警，尽早将药物分配到患者手中，并做好及时转诊是社区下一步的重点任务。(完) （文图：赵筱尘 巫邓炎） [责编：天天中] 阅读剩余全文（）  视觉焦点
