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.
（新春走基层）“兔子王”兔年热销：泥韵传神出指端 中国神话IP遇见民间工艺****** 中新网济南1月24日电 题：“兔子王”兔年热销：泥韵传神出指端中国神话IP遇见民间工艺 作者 吕妍 小小三瓣嘴，两只细长耳，金盔金甲大红袍，背插四面靠旗，手持玉杵，携金钵端坐于祥云之上，祥云下面以浅浮雕的形式塑造了趵突泉、黑虎泉、五龙潭等独具济南特色的泉水景观……24日，在山东济南“兔子王”非遗传承人杨峰的店铺内，五颜六色的“兔子王”排列整齐。因象征着平安、健康、吉祥，有祛病消灾的美好寓意，其在兔年迎来热销。 杨峰介绍说，“兔子王”的原型是中国神话故事中的“玉兔”。相传，古时有一种怪病蔓延济南，在月宫捣仙药的玉兔将药饼捣碎，投在济南“七十二名泉”中，喝了泉水的百姓很快痊愈，人们为感念玉兔，便在中秋时供奉一个泥塑的兔子神。“在北京称其为‘兔儿爷’，济南则叫‘兔子王’。”  图为“兔子王骑虎”。 祁见月 摄“兔子王”在中国传统民间手工艺中属于彩塑艺术，即以泥土为胎，饰以色彩。其制作工艺分为和泥、制胎、翻模、印模、开模、修胎、涂大白、开脸儿等10多道工序，30多个步骤。“我创作的‘泉城兔子王’系列作品，在继承传统的基础上，融入了更多地方特色和泉水元素。”杨峰说，包括在“兔王”脸上，以篆书变形的“泉”字绘制脸谱，以及融入泉水景观、咏泉诗文、泉名印章等，作品承载着济南的城市文化。 杨峰称，将“玉兔”雕造成金盔金甲的武士，有的骑着虎、狮、象等瑞兽，有的骑着孔雀，仙鹤等飞禽，这也是民间艺人的大胆创造。还有一种“兔子王”底座下伸出一根长线绳，每每拉动线绳时，它的手臂和药杵就一上一下地活动，并发出吧嗒吧嗒的响声，更是广受欢迎。 “我的第一件作品是被一位来自新西兰的游客买走的，他说在他们国家兔子也有美好的寓意。”杨峰说。2006年，他参加了新加坡的一个文化艺术旅游展，第一次将作品带出国门，“兔子王”也在那次展会上被来自五湖四海的游客带向了世界各地。“很多外国游客专门把‘兔子王’当成礼物带回到他们的国家，我也希望‘兔子王’作为一个文化载体和符号，能够在更广阔的空间展示中国传统文化。”  图为五颜六色的“兔子王”整齐的排列在展柜中。 祁见月 摄“‘兔子王’也体现了中华神话文化的五彩缤纷，从神话故事中，人们创造出许多生动有趣的形象，还将这些形象具象化，制成各种作品，点缀人们的生活，这些神话IP也深受孩子们的喜爱。”杨峰说。 “中国神话故事归属于非物质文化遗产的民间文学类别，因其丰富的内容以及超现实性，自古以来就有着广泛的民众基础，并且为传统非遗的各种艺术形式作品的创作提供了丰富的素材和造型参考。”山东艺术学院设计学院教授姜海涛表示，中国神话IP从形象到性格都有深入人心的鲜明特征，有着庞大的“粉丝”基础。以神话原型或元素作为特征，从中挖掘并提炼出让人产生共鸣的文化符号，融合现代审美理念解构进行再创作，做到体现背后的精神文化涵义，可以让非遗真正实现活态的传承与发展。 姜海涛建议，未来可以在现代文化和数字技术的语境下，在尊重和保护非遗技艺的基础上，通过理念创新、模式创新，实现非物质文化遗产由文化遗产向创意资源的转变，争取用潮流的方式焕新传统习俗，打造面向未来的生产和传播方式，兼具内容、视觉、品质和功能性，塑造具有全新的生活体验和艺术享受的非遗作品、文创产品等。(完)
