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.
首套房贷利率跌破4% 买房时机来了？****** 中新网2月2日电(中新财经记者 左宇坤)还在观望中的买房人，在这个春节过后迎来了颇有吸引力的“利率大礼”。 自今年1月央行、银保监会宣布建立首套住房贷款利率政策动态调整机制后，已有多地调整首套房贷款利率，从最开始的三四线城市，向郑州、厦门等更高能级城市蔓延。  资料图：参展商售楼人员向顾客介绍楼盘。房贷利率迈入“3时代”，有买房人“坐不住了” “即日起，南宁市阶段性调整首套住房商业性个人住房贷款利率下限，调整后利率下限为LPR(贷款市场报价利率)减60个基点。按照现行LPR，我市首套住房商贷利率下限将下调为3.7%。”2月1日，广西南宁市住房和城乡建设局网站“官宣”了房贷利率下调的好消息。 “过年前就听说了些消息，年后就有银行开始陆续运作了。”南宁一楼盘销售人员孙先生对中新财经记者表示，有些银行二套房的贷款利率也降到了4.9%左右。 贝壳研究院监测数据显示，3.7%的首套房贷利率目前为全国商贷利率最低，同处这一水平的还有珠海、株洲和常德。 孙先生对此颇为感慨：“两三年之前，南宁的首套房贷利率最高能达到6.1%，在全国也算高的。这两天还有很多在‘高位上车’的客户跟我说，大腿都拍麻了，现在二套房利率都比当年首套房的低了。” “昨天还有客户给我打电话，他是1月初刚刚以4.1%的利率贷了款，不过现在还没有放款，来问我能不能按3.7%走，我还是建议他马上联系银行经理。”孙先生说。 更为着急的显然是正有打算买房的人们。孙先生表示，最近几天很多意向购房者明显更着急想要尽快定下来。除了想赶上这波利好，也有人担心开发商会因为行情走热而调价。 同样在这两天迎来利率调整的还有福建厦门。“我们是从1月31日开始调整的，首套房贷款利率从原来的LPR-20基点调整到LPR-50基点，也就是3.8%。”厦门一房产中介夏女士对记者介绍，假设申请了30年的100万元贷款，等额本息的还款方式，每月能省下170余元。 夏女士同时强调，这次主要是针对首套房的定向利好，因为目前二套贷款利率还是LPR+80基点，即5.1%的利率，两者差别还是比较大的。  资料图：众多楼盘。 张一辰 摄已近20城调整利率下限，更多城市或将跟进 经历了2022年三次共35个基点的下调后，5年期LPR由2021年年底的4.65%降至4.3%。 央行、银保监会建立首套住房贷款利率政策动态调整机制后，新一年房贷利率调整的高峰期已然到来。 中指研究院1月31日发布的数据显示，据不完全统计，2023年新调整利率下限的城市接近20个，包括郑州、天津、福州、沈阳、厦门等二线城市，肇庆、湛江、云浮、惠州、韶关、江门阶段性取消首套房贷利率下限。 依据动态调整机制政策规定，新建商品住宅销售价格环比和同比连续3个月均下降的城市，可阶段性维持、下调或取消当地首套住房贷款利率政策下限。 “从城市分布来看，春节前，下调房贷利率的多以三四线城市为主；春节后，近几日下调房贷利率的城市以二线城市为主，其中不乏省会城市和重点二线城市。”诸葛找房数据研究中心指出。 对于未来更多的调整，上海易居房地产研究院统计认为，二线城市中的太原、沈阳、石家庄、哈尔滨、昆明、乌鲁木齐、南宁、武汉、海口和贵阳等地，三四线城市中的柳州、三亚、日照、承德、温州、中山、张家口和赣州等地，都有对房贷利率进行下调的需求。 “房贷利率的下降属于供需两端一揽子调控政策的一种，还是要与其他政策结合起来发挥作用。预计后续还有其他城市跟进，而且首套房贷利率还会下降。”广东省城规院住房政策研究中心首席研究员李宇嘉表示。(完)
