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.
2022年CPI同比上涨2.0% 2023年物价会如何？****** 中新网1月12日电(中新财经记者 谢艺观)12日，国家统计局公布2022年全年及12月份CPI数据。受鲜菜价格降幅收窄、鲜果价格涨幅扩大等因素影响，2022年12月份CPI同比上涨1.8%。另，2022年全年CPI同比上涨2.0%。  CPI涨跌幅走势图。来自国家统计局。2022年12月CPI同比涨幅小幅扩大 国家统计局数据显示，从同比看，2022年12月CPI上涨1.8%，涨幅比前月扩大0.2个百分点。其中，食品价格上涨4.8%，涨幅比前月扩大1.1个百分点，影响CPI上涨约0.87个百分点；非食品价格上涨1.1%，涨幅与前月相同，影响CPI上涨约0.92个百分点。 据国家统计局城市司首席统计师董莉娟介绍，食品中，猪肉价格上涨22.2%，涨幅比前月回落12.2个百分点；薯类和鲜果价格分别上涨12.7%和11.0%，涨幅均有扩大；鸡蛋、食用油和粮食价格分别上涨10.0%、7.2%和2.6%，涨幅均有回落；鲜菜价格下降8.0%，降幅收窄13.2个百分点。 “扣除食品和能源价格的核心CPI略有回升，同比上涨0.7%，涨幅比前月扩大0.1个百分点。”董莉娟指出。  资料图：新疆乌鲁木齐市某购物中心。 中新社记者 刘新 摄鲜菜、鲜果价格环比上涨，猪肉价格降幅扩大 从环比看，2022年12月CPI由前月下降0.2%转为持平。其中，食品价格由前月下降0.8%转为上涨0.5%，影响CPI上涨约0.09个百分点。 董莉娟提到，食品中，受季节性因素影响，鲜菜和鲜果价格分别上涨7.0%和4.7%；生猪供给持续增加，猪肉价格下降8.7%，降幅比前月扩大8.0个百分点。 “鲜菜、鲜果价格环比大涨，是食品价格反弹的最重要因素，主要原因是冬季供给偏弱，以及2023年春节移至1月引发的节日性上涨效应提前。”民生银行首席经济学家温彬表示。  资料图：海口市民在农贸市场购物。 张月和 摄2022年CPI涨幅处在预期目标内 国家统计局公布信息显示，2022年全年CPI同比上涨2.0%，处在3%左右的预期目标内。 国家发改委价格司司长万劲松12日在发布会上表示，我国物价总水平持续平稳运行，国内CPI单月涨幅始终运行在3%以下，全年上涨2%，大幅低于美国8%左右、欧元区8%以上、英国9%左右等发达经济体涨幅，也明显低于印度、巴西、南非等新兴经济体7%—10%(1—11月份)的涨幅。国际胀、国内稳，对比十分鲜明。 “2022年，面对40年以来全球出现的最大通胀压力，我国通过保持定力的财政货币政策、及时有效的疫情防控措施、完善的工业生产体系以及相对安全的能源粮食保障，始终保持着相对温和的通胀水平。”温彬称。  资料图：成都市锦江区，民众在大型超市内购物。 中新社记者 刘忠俊 摄今年CPI走势会如何？ 2022年，国内物价保持平稳的运行态势，2023年物价会否出现明显波动？ 万劲松表示，2023年，尽管国际大宗商品价格可能高位波动，输入性通胀压力仍然存在，但我国物价保持平稳运行具有坚实基础。“粮食生产连续丰收，生猪产能合理充裕，重要民生商品供应充足，基础能源保障有力，保供稳价体系进一步健全，完全有信心、有能力继续保持物价总体稳定。” “2023年，我国CPI预计将继续保持温和水平。”温彬认为，综合来看，2023年外部通胀压力减轻，食品价格保持温和和相对较低的翘尾因素将限制CPI的涨幅，但随着疫情防控措施优化，我国内需开启复苏进程，将推升核心CPI的修复，并主导CPI中枢的回升。预计2023年全年CPI同比上涨2.1%，略高于2022年的水平。(完)
