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.
当旅游遇上“非遗”,玩出不一样的“文化味儿”(2)****** 旅游助力让非遗“活”起来“火”起来 不久前的中国丹寨非遗周,近一公里长的长桌宴让不少游人惊叹不已,热情的丹寨人民摆了360桌美食宴请1800名游客一同尝新。近两年,丹寨非遗周活动已经成为当地旅游品牌,古法造纸、蜡染体验等非遗体验,苗绣、侗族刺绣、苗族银饰等非遗商品也因为旅游业而走进大众的视线。 “丹寨小镇是贵州非遗的一个集中展示区。在丹寨小镇举办非遗周活动,是非遗进景区的一次成功探索,是推动文化与旅游融合的一次生动实践。”文化和旅游部党组成员、中国非物质文化遗产保护协会会长王晓峰表示,非遗保护与传承,是以当代生产生活为中心的文化实践,让传统工艺、传统设计通过再现、再造、再生,走进现代生活,融入现代旅游,才能真正实现保护的价值。 扎染技艺传承人在中国-南亚博览会上展示扎染作品。新华社发 各地创新推出的各类非遗文创产品,也逐渐在旅游市场收获了更高关注度。如拥有100多年历史的国家级非遗龚扇制扇技艺,在第五代传人龚倩手里经过创新演变,做成了耳饰、胸针、手提包、冰箱贴等,以更平常的价格进入了人们的日常生活。在黑龙江省大庆市北国温泉古街,一位游客被省级非遗项目芦苇画工艺所吸引,一下就花了3000元买了4幅做工精良的芦苇画,“芦苇画精美又有特色,没想到还可以在这里买到这么有意义的纪念品。”他高兴地说。 “非遗和旅游结合,诞生了更多时尚的旅游产品和文创产品,不仅中国老百姓喜爱,还有更多非遗旅游商品出口到国外,向世界展示了中国优秀的传统文化。”中国旅游研究院战略所副研究员韩元军说道。 活态传承是最好的保护。非遗走进景区,不仅为景区增添了文化魅力,也让非遗项目扩大了知名度和影响力,更多年轻人前来学习体验,他们在旅游的同时也参与到非遗传承和文化传播之中。旅游的传播为非遗“活”起来开辟了新路径,使其不再是“鲜有问津”的古老技艺,而是走进了千家万户,拥有了更多烟火气。 “在非物质文化遗产的保护传承过程中,旅游业一直是重要的反哺来源。”金准说,“与文物类遗产不同,非物质文化遗产需要在与人的互动中保护、活化,这就必然需要在市场环境中发展保护,旅游业为非物质文化遗产的保护提供了最大的现实市场。同时,旅游业的运转成为非物质文化遗产聚集资金、吸引人才、凝结项目、深化开发、推动传承的重要依托,近年来更依托数字化手段形成了创新发展的模式。” 福建省武夷山市星村镇燕子窠生态茶园一角。新华社发 韩元军认为,通过发展旅游,更多拥有非遗技艺的人群提高了收入,从而实现更好保护;旅游也让更多老百姓知道、了解了这些非遗项目,从而提高了非遗保护的参与度;旅游还推动了非遗项目创新,通过市场力量和广大群众参与让非遗文化更有生命力。 近年来出台的各项非遗保护政策,充分肯定旅游业在推动非遗保护传承中发挥的积极作用。此前印发的《关于进一步加强非物质文化遗产保护工作的意见》明确提出,深入挖掘乡村旅游消费潜力,支持利用非遗资源发展乡村旅游等业态,以文塑旅、以旅彰文,推出一批具有鲜明非遗特色的主题旅游线路、研学旅游产品和演艺作品。支持非遗有机融入景区、度假区,建设非遗特色景区。 深度融合让非遗旅游实力“圈粉” 近日,在江苏九龙口的淮剧小镇,一场以非遗糖画体验为主题的研学旅行格外热闹。孩子们在研学老师的带领下近距离了解淮剧发展史,亲手以糖浆绘制一幅幅惟妙惟肖的糖画,在游玩中学习知识、锻炼动手能力,感受非遗魅力。 近年来,各地纷纷针对有文化旅游需求的人群,推出非遗主题旅游线路、非遗体验基地、非遗展览馆等。彝族火把节、傣族泼水节、苗族跳花节等少数民族节日风情浓郁,秦淮灯会、马街书会等民间文化活动源远流长,成为吸引游客的“金字招牌”。江西景德镇的陶瓷研学游已经有了多年实践,学生们既能学到陶瓷相关知识又能亲手体验,寓教于乐的方式深受家长和孩子们欢迎。 我国悠久的历史和璀璨的文化,留下了十分丰富的非遗资源。2022年11月,我国申报的“中国传统制茶技艺及其相关习俗”列入联合国教科文组织人类非物质文化遗产代表作名录。至此,我国列入该名录的项目已有43个,居世界第一。截至2021年末,全国国家级非遗代表性项目1557项。 丰富的资源为非遗和旅游融合发展提供了良好的基础。多年来,各地积极探索融合路径,非遗与研学旅游、民宿、文创产品、旅游演艺、节庆活动等结合起来,催生了各式各样的旅游新业态和多样化发展模式。 湖南省张家界市武陵源区一土家族织锦基地,游客体验土家族织锦产品制作。新华社发 (文图:赵筱尘 巫邓炎) [责编:天天中] 阅读剩余全文() |
