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.
跟随特斯拉降价,小鹏汽车最高下调3.6万元****** 在特斯拉、问界之后,又一家新能源车企加入降价阵营。 1月17日,小鹏汽车宣布调整旗下部分产品价格。其中小鹏G3i价格下调幅度为2万元~2.5万元不等;小鹏P5价格下调2.3万元;小鹏P7价格下降幅度为3万元~3.6万元;2022年9月上市的G9车型价格保持不变。 此前,特拉斯在调整售价时引起了部分老用户的不满,小鹏汽车和问界在新车售价下调的同时,均增加了对于老车主的补贴方案。小鹏汽车方面表示,对于在本次价格调整前一年内订购小鹏G3i、P5、P7的用户,小鹏汽车将延长整车质保至10年/20万公里,并赠送四年基础保养。 特斯拉的大幅降价再次搅动了新能源车市。2023年1月1日开始,新能源汽车国家补贴正式退出,已有多家车企宣布受到补贴取消影响而小幅上调产品价格。不过,特斯拉1月6日突然宣布大幅下调产品价格,部分产品给出了国产以来的最低价格。受到价格下调的影响,近两周以来,特斯拉订单量明显增长,全国多个地区特斯拉门店客流量大幅增加。 同时在价格大幅下调之后,特斯拉和小鹏、问界、比亚迪等中国品牌的产品价格重叠区间增大,蚕食了部分竞品的市场份额。 湘财证券发布的一份研报显示,特斯拉作为行业标杆,其产品定价会影响其它新能源汽车企业的生存空间,特斯拉降价促销势必加剧竞争。亦有业内人士分析认为,2022年第一季度,新能源汽车承压较大,即便没有官宣价格调整,部分品牌势必会加大终端的优惠力度。 不过,1月为汽车销售的传统淡季,叠加国补退出、动力电池成本仍处于高位运行等多方原因,目前大部分车企暂未跟进特斯拉下调售价。截至1月17日,仅问界和小鹏两家新势力车企跟着特斯拉宣布下调产品价格。乘联会秘书长崔东树表示,今年2月到3月,碳酸锂价格可能出现相应回落,车企也将会推出新品、新技术,可能会推出相应的降价措施。 目前,虽然车市承压,但业内对新能源车未来发展依然看好。2022年新能源车市场飞速发展,销量逼近700万辆,渗透率达到25%,新能源汽车已呈现出对传统燃油汽车较强的替代效应。部分机构和业内人士预测,2023年新能源汽车销量将达到800~1000万辆,进一步抢夺传统燃油车的市场。 随着特斯拉、小鹏等车企的价格调整,新能源汽车和传统燃油汽车价格差异进一步缩小。以特斯拉Model 3为例,在1月6日的价格调整后,其起售价已和帕萨特、迈腾等合资车企B级燃油车产生较大的重叠;小鹏G3i在价格调整后,亦与本田XR-V、大众途岳等产品处于同一 售价区间。 惠誉评级亚太地区企业研究部董事杨菁在接受媒体采访时曾表示,新能源车企的共同目标是在整体车市中切下更大的一块蛋糕,特斯拉带头的价格下调会进一步提升新能源车的性价比。而对燃油车而言,2022年的刺激政策已经透支了一部分需求,新能源车市场的价格战可能会延伸到燃油车市场。 (文图:赵筱尘 巫邓炎) [责编:天天中] 阅读剩余全文() |
