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.
香港篆刻家李玉生：冀望新一年“兔”飞猛进****** (新春见闻)香港篆刻家李玉生：冀望新一年“兔”飞猛进 中新社香港1月11日电 题：香港篆刻家李玉生：冀望新一年“兔”飞猛进 中新社记者 索有为 左手握一方印石，右手执一支刻刀，不使用印床来固定印石的香港篆刻家李玉生，娴熟使用冲、旋、转、剔多种刀法，在自己的工作室凝神聚力地创作着，在轻重缓急的节奏中，一只动态十足的小兔子跳跃欲出……  图为正在创作中的李玉生。 中新社记者 索有为 摄癸卯兔年春节来临之际，李玉生接受中新社记者采访时表示，在中国传统文化中，生肖兔代表的是宁静、善良、温和和活泼，尤其是刚刚过去的几年受疫情影响，人们更渴望早日走出疫境、生活祥和美好，他就决定创作一方生肖兔印章，来表达和传递这种愿望。 也正因如此，在这只生肖兔的下方，李玉生特意又刻上“兔年大吉”四个篆字，冀望新的一年“兔”飞猛进、万事如意、国泰民安。  图为李玉生治印生肖兔，冀望新的一年“兔”飞猛进、万事如意、国泰民安。 中新社记者 索有为 摄李玉生告诉记者，他钻研篆刻艺术是半路出家。他痴迷收藏近30年，在与陶瓷、玉器、书画等藏品打交道的过程中，走上艺术创作之路。他起初拜师雷少华和林坚璋学习书法，后又师从岭南画派大师赵少昂高足、著名画家卢清远和岭南画派名家伍月柳等人，研习多年后形成了自己格调清新的艺术风格。 “书画作品上的印章同样是一门高深的艺术。”李玉生说，美国学者威廉·罗肯特曾称赞中国篆刻艺术是“世界公认的最高艺术”，而篆刻家是“能使石头唱歌的艺术大师”，他潜心观察每一位名家的用印并从中领悟印章和书画作品的融合之美，继而又开始痴迷篆刻，在西泠印社名师邓昌成和西泠学堂林墨子导师的指导下学习篆刻。 此前学习书画的沉淀也给他的篆刻带来便利和灵感。“书法有笔法，篆刻有刀法，使刀如使笔。”李玉生说：“其实，在印石的方寸之间表达艺术语言需要严谨的推敲，需要人文的修养，方寸之间有大天地。” 在篆刻水平精进之后，他把创作思路转向了天下第一行书《兰亭序》，他要将《兰亭序》全文用印章表现出来。朱文白文灵活协调、边款用字摒弃雷同，李玉生潜心用力数月之久，终于将全文324字的《兰亭序》刻在了64方印章上，在拓印印屏时，李玉生为了作品的丰富性，又特意尝试了篆刻书圣王羲之的人物肖像，作品完成后受到名家的充分肯定。  图为李玉生介绍他创作的《兰亭序》全文印屏。 中新社记者 索有为 摄一发不可收的李玉生，又创作了《陋室铭》《心经》《爱莲说》等全文印屏，从人物肖像篆刻到象形物篆刻乃至鸟虫篆，也成为他在方寸天地间纵横驰骋的畅意表达。 在2022年中央援港抗疫期间，李玉生用篆刻来记录中央对香港的关心和内地医护人员逆行而上的付出，身着防护衣怀抱儿童的医护人员、运送抗疫物资的列车、方舱医院、中西医结合治疗等，都在他的刻刀下一一呈现，这幅以几十枚印章组成的《壬寅年香港抗疫印屏》，在香港抗疫美术作品展览中亮相，吸引众多人士观赏赞叹。 “香港与内地已经实现了首阶段‘通关’，很多三年没有和内地亲人团聚的香港市民已经北上，兔年里我也要去内地好好走一走，从中获得更多的灵感。”李玉生说，脸上写满期待，“祝愿大家在新一年‘兔’来运转、‘兔’飞猛进”。(完)
