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.
贵州茅台重磅公告!事关275亿元特别分红****** 贵州茅台的特别红利即将兑现! 12月20日晚间,贵州茅台公告,2022年度回报股东特别分红实施,股权登记日为12月26日,除权(息)日、现金红利发放日为12月27日。每股派发现金红利21.91元(含税),共计派发现金红利275.23亿元。 用1个月时间分红到位 11月28日晚间,贵州茅台公告回报股东特别分红方案,12月14日公司股东大会审议通过了上述方案,再到12月20日公布实施公告,特别分红方案实施历时不到1个月。 贵州茅台将向全体股东每股派发现金红利21.91元(含税),这一特别分红方案在贵州茅台发展的历史中尚属首次。国泰君安发布研报称,自2015年起茅台现金分红比例均超过50%。此次若考虑年中分红272.28亿元,则贵州茅台2022年全年分红将达到547.51亿元,占2021年净利润的104.37%。 对于此次分红方案,投资者持不同态度。有投资者表示,今天贵州茅台每股下跌了58元,相当于市场已经除权了,而每股逾21元的分红在高价股的波动中掀不起太大波浪。 不过,也有投资者表示,每股超21元的分红也不少了,一手就可以分到2000多元。 贵州茅台提示,已办理指定交易的投资者可于红利发放日在其指定的证券营业部领取现金红利,未办理指定交易的股东红利暂由中国结算上海分公司保管,待办理指定交易后再进行派发。 对于特别分红的目的,贵州茅台称,一是公司持续、稳定、健康发展的需要;二是在保证公司正常经营和长期发展不受影响的前提下,加大现金分红力度,提振市场信心;三是积极回报股东,与股东分享公司发展红利,增强广大股东的获得感。 今年第二家派发特别现金红利的公司 此次贵州茅台派发特别现金红利为其历史上首次,也是今年来A股第二家派发特别现金红利的上市公司。 今年4月29日,中国海油也曾宣布实施特别分红,公司拟向全体股东派发特别现金红利每股1.18港元(含税),A股股东股息以人民币支付,每股派发现金红利1.00699元(含税)。中国海油当时公告称,此次派发的股息包括2021年度末期股息及香港上市20周年特别股息。 公开资料显示,在A股市场上,新华保险、中国平安、中国太保、中国神华、白云山等上市公司也曾派发特别现金红利。 分析人士指出,A股历史上派发特别现金红利的上市公司以国企和央企为主,贵州茅台此次大手笔派发特别现金红利为上市公司树立了标杆,不排除其他国企和央企也有类似提高分红比率的动作。 如何判断上市公司现金分红能力?上交所此前公开发文称,虽然定期报告中的现金流量指标并不能完全代表上市公司分红时可支配的现金金额,但是一般理解,公司的分红能力还是取决于经营质量和可以支配的现金流。因此,现金流量指标不宜直接作为判断公司分红能力的刚性量化指标,但可以作为一个重要的参考指标,是对上市公司分红能力的侧面印证。 证监会主席易会满称,2017年至2021年,我国上市公司现金分红超6万亿元。下一步深化资本市场改革,仍须进一步增强上市公司价值创造能力,提升行业机构专业能力,实现实体经济发展、上市公司质量提升与投资者回报增长的良性互促。 中国网客户端 国家重点新闻网站,9语种权威发布 |
