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.
二十大代表风采｜新时代“追风者”武钢：让中国风机走向世界****** 中新网乌鲁木齐10月11日电 题：新时代“追风者”武钢：让中国风机走向世界 作者 苟继鹏 “在达坂城安装成百上千台风机、制造出中国人自己的风机、让中国风机走向世界。”新疆金风科技股份有限公司(以下简称“金风科技”)党委书记、董事长、总工程师武钢近日接受中新网记者采访时说，这曾是他的“三个梦想”。 武钢说，实现这“三个梦想”的过程，正是中国风电行业从最初步履蹒跚到如今自主自强的一个缩影，亦是中国风行业电创新驱动、高速发展，在装机规模、环境适应、装备经济性和可靠性、产业整体竞争力迈上新台阶的生动演绎。 昔日以大风闻名的新疆乌鲁木齐达坂城，是武钢的逐梦之地，也是中国风电行业的摇篮。35年前，武钢选择做一名“追风者”，他接任了达坂城风电场场长。彼时的中国风电行业方兴未艾，而达坂城是这个行业的一块“试验田”。 武钢回忆道，在创业初期，中国大部分风机都还依靠进口，价格高、故障率高、维修成本高。这种受制于人的现状令他暗下决心，一定要造出中国人自己的风机。功夫不负有心人，他们研制的首台风机国产化率为33%，至第10台机组投产时，国产化率达已到96%。 但武钢并不满足于此。2005年，他带领金风科技研制的1.2MW直驱永磁风力发电机在新疆达坂城风力发电厂试运行。这是中国第一台具有自主知识产权的兆瓦级风机，由此，中国风机制造技术“更上一层楼”，可与国际领先技术同台竞技。如今，金风科技加快智能风机系列产品技术变革，机组采用直驱永磁与中速永磁“双轮驱动”技术路线，产品在智慧感知、智慧诊断、智慧协同方面实现智能化全面升级。  武钢展示金风科技制造的风机模型。 受访者供图如今，迎风转动的“大风车”成为达坂城新的代名词，达坂城风区已是中国风电行业的“样板间”，一如武钢所想的那样，成百上千的国产风机将源源不断的劲风转化为绿电照亮千家万户。“从进口到自主创新实现国产化，我国风电产业已经自主崛起，最初的那张白纸已是一幅璀璨壮丽的画卷，能源的饭碗已经逐步被我们端牢在自己手里。”武钢说。 武钢还说，党的十八大以来，中国风电产业取得骄人成就，在全世界新能源装备格局中的作用日益凸显，已形成了一个涵盖风电开发建设、设备制造、技术研发、检测认证、配套服务的完整风电装备制造产业链。同时，中国风电还积极“走出去”，为全球能源转型作出了贡献。 多年来，金风科技立足新疆，走向全国乃至世界。今年9月，金风科技成功签约乌兹别克斯坦Zarafshan500MW风电项目，实现了其在乌兹别克斯坦市场的重大突破。据介绍，此项目是金风科技在乌兹别克斯坦乃至中亚最大单体项目，建成后将明显改善当地的电力结构，满足50万户乌兹别克斯坦家庭的电力需求，每年将减少110万吨二氧化碳排放。 武钢表示，新疆周边的国家风能资源的储备也非常丰厚，可以把新疆的装备制造业和周边国家的能源转型有机结合，通过能源纽带来促进新疆经济发展，未来的前景广阔。 据统计，截至目前，金风科技制造的风机在全球累计装机超4.5万台，容量超过89GW，其业务遍布全球38个国家地区和中国国内30个省区市。并连续11年保持中国风电装备行业市场占有率第一，连续7年位列全球风电装备行业市场前三甲，在中国风机出口市场份额中占比60%。(完)
