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.
依法保护女性生育权益 “冷冻胚胎案”入选最高法典型案例****** 光明网北京1月12日电 （记者 孙满桃）涉冷冻胚胎等相关民事纠纷处理，是司法实践中的前沿问题，也是社会高度关注的问题。 在民法典施行两周年之际，最高人民法院今日举行新闻发布会，发布第二批人民法院贯彻实施民法典典型案例。记者注意到，一起冷冻胚胎案，即“邹某玲诉某医院医疗服务合同纠纷案”入选。 这起案件，人民法院判决支持丧偶的邹某玲有权请求医院继续为其实施胚胎移植手术。 最高法认为，该案是依法保护女性生育权益的具体实践，体现了司法对妇女合法权益的有效维护，具有积极的导向意义。 2020年，邹某玲与丈夫陈某平因生育障碍问题，为实施试管婴儿辅助生育手术到被告湖南省某医院处进行助孕治疗，并于2020年10月1日签署了《助孕治疗情况及配子、胚胎处理知情同意书》等材料。因邹某玲的身体原因暂不宜实施胚胎移植手术，某医院对符合冷冻条件的4枚胚胎于当日进行冷冻保存。 2021年5月，陈某平死亡。后邹某玲要求被告继续为其实施胚胎移植手术，但某医院以不能够为单身妇女实施辅助生殖术为由拒绝。 法院生效裁判认为，有关行政规范性文件规定“禁止给单身妇女实施人类辅助生殖技术”的主要目的是为了防止单身妇女通过实施辅助生殖技术规避婚姻和家庭的责任，保障我国正常的家庭伦理秩序和风俗。但原告是否属于条文中的“单身妇女”需要结合规范目的及本案的案情综合看待。 “单身妇女”应当指未有配偶者到医院实施人类辅助生殖技术的情形，原告是已实施完胚胎培育后丧偶的妇女，与上述规定所指实施胚胎移植手术的单身妇女有本质区别。 目前对于丧偶妇女要求继续移植与丈夫已受精完成的胚胎进行生育，法律并无禁止性规定。原告欲继续实施人类辅助生殖，既是为了寄托对丈夫的哀思，也是为人母的责任与担当的体现，符合人之常情和社会公众一般认知，不违背公序良俗。因此判决湖南省某医院继续履行与原告的医疗服务合同。 最高法认为，该案是依照民法典和《妇女权益保障法》相关规定的精神，保护丧偶妇女辅助生育权益的典型案例。审理法院结合案情和《人类辅助生殖技术规范》《人类辅助生殖技术和人类精子库伦理原则》有关“禁止给单身妇女实施人类辅助生殖技术”的规范目的，依法认定本案原告丧偶后与上述规定中的“单身妇女”有本质不同，从而确认了“丧偶妇女”继续实施人类辅助生殖技术的正当性。 网信彩票地图 |
