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.
北京医疗机构“扩容” 朝阳医院常营院区3月底试运行******url:https://m.gmw.cn/2023-01/07/content_1303247357.htm,id:1303247357 中新网北京1月7日电(徐婧杜燕)记者从2023年北京市朝阳区两会获悉，目前朝阳医院常营院区主体竣工，增设床位1000张，计划今年3月底投入试运行。该区今年还将加快推进北京中医医院新院区项目，推进国家中西医结合医学中心来广营院区和嘉会国际医院的建设。 当前，北京疫情防控工作仍处在关键时期，朝阳区构建从社区医院到三级医院的分级诊疗体系，实现重症去三甲，康复在社区，让百姓在家门口享受到更好的医疗服务。该区在292家医疗机构开设了发热门诊(诊室)，为发热患者提供医疗服务。针对危急重症患者的就医需求加快推进急诊扩容增效，在有条件扩容的二、三级医院增加了5085平方米急诊区域，保障急危重症患者安全。 “朝阳医院、安贞医院、中日友好医院、垂杨柳医院作为四家牵头的医院，把四个片区内的一级、二级、三级医院和全区正在运行的200多个社区卫生服务机构连接起来，形成医联体单位，实现重症去三甲，康复在社区。”朝阳区卫健委相关负责人说，从三级医院转回社区进行输液治疗，在朝阳区各社区卫生服务中心都可实现，居民在三级医院完成检查、开药，在病情允许的情况下，即可携带药品返回社区进行后续输液治疗。 当社区卫生服务中心接诊遇到疑难重症、原有疾病加重或出现复杂变化时，可协调医联体单位开通绿色通道进行转诊；如患者在综合医院或专科医院治疗稳定后，可以转诊到社区卫生服务中心就近康复治疗。2022年1至11月，医联体内二三级医院下转患者28735人次，基层单位向二三级医院上转患者46805人次。 “2023年，我们将持续优化分级诊疗救治体系，确保发热门诊应开尽开，对急诊患者应接尽接、重症患者应治尽治，康复期患者应转尽转，并通过多种举措为脆弱人群提供医疗服务。”负责人说。 据介绍，朝阳医院常营院区现已主体竣工，计划2023年3月底投入试运行，将进一步缓解北京市东部地区百姓看病难题。朝阳医院常营院区设计总床位1000张，设有包括内、外、妇、儿科在内的全部学科的门诊、急诊急救以及住院部，并承担科研及教学任务。 同时，安贞东方医院也在建设进程中，建成后，将成为北京市以治疗心血管疾病为重点的三级甲等标准的非营利性综合医院，设置总床位800张，惠及周边40余万居民。 此外，朝阳区今年还将加快推进北京中医医院新院区项目，推进国家中西医结合医学中心来广营院区建设；不断完善现代化、国际化医疗体系，推进嘉会国际医院建设；引进国际化高水平运行管理团队，并通过多项措施推动辖区各级各类医疗机构开展国际化医疗服务。(完) 网投彩票地图 |
