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.
隆基绿能大规模扩产 光伏行业竞争加剧****** 1月17日晚间，隆基绿能公告，公司与陕西省西咸新区开发建设管理委员会、陕西省西咸新区泾河新城管理委员会签订《投资合作协议》，公司拟在陕西省西咸新区投资建设年产100GW单晶硅片项目及年产50GW单晶电池项目。隆基绿能表示，签订投资协议有利于公司充分发挥技术和产品领先优势，进一步提升产能规模，不断提高市场竞争力。 业内人士表示，近年来光伏行业需求旺盛，并吸引了一些上市公司跨界涌入，在龙头企业大举扩张产能的背景下，光伏产业链将面临洗牌。 密集扩产 作为全球组件出货量最大的公司，隆基绿能近期密集开启扩产。1月10日晚间，隆基绿能宣布，拟将西咸乐叶年产15GW高效单晶电池项目变更为西咸乐叶年产29GW高效单晶电池项目，该项目将导入公司自主研发的HPBC高效电池技术。隆基绿能表示，目前，HPBC电池产品量产光电转换效率超过25%。年产29GW单晶高效电池项目预计2023年9月整体完成竣工验收并全面投产。 2022年12月，隆基绿能公告，拟投资30亿元在安徽省芜湖市建设二期年产15GW单晶组件项目。 据中国证券报记者统计，近一个月来，隆基绿能宣布的扩产项目包括100GW硅片、79GW电池和15GW组件等。 经济性凸显 隆基绿能表示，目前公司单晶电池产能与单晶硅片、组件产能不匹配，一定程度上制约了公司战略目标的实现。 对于隆基绿能的扩产，业内人士表示，显示出公司持续看好光伏市场。值得注意的是，2022年末，硅片价格开启调整。对此，隆基绿能在接受机构调研时表示，随着产业链价格的连续调整，光伏发电系统的经济性凸显，市场需求释放。2022年第四季度，公司硅片和组件出货量均实现环比增长。2023年，公司将进一步提升硅片自用量比例，预计将超过60%。 隆基绿能表示，随着光伏产品价格下行，需求将进一步放量，预计2023年全球光伏市场将延续高增长态势。公司将依托在硅片和组件环节形成的技术优势、成本优势、渠道优势以及良好的履约能力和品牌知名度，深度发掘客户多样化需求，不断推动硅片和组件出货量持续增长。 需求旺盛 2022年以来，光伏行业持续开启扩产潮，头部企业隆基绿能、通威股份、晶澳科技、天合光能等纷纷宣布大规模扩产。同时，火热的市场吸引众多企业跨界涌入光伏领域。 据PV Tech不完全统计，2022年光伏行业新建组件扩产项目规模超400GW。业内人士表示，随着新建项目投产，落后产能将面临淘汰。 中信建投认为，随着上游环节价格下降，组件环节盈利有所恢复。近年来，国内集中式光伏需求被高企的硅料价格压制，随着硅料价格逐步下降，预计2023年国内集中式光伏占比将提升。另外，欧洲、美国等海外市场需求将维持高速增长。 隆基绿能创始人、总裁李振国表示，根据隆基能源研究院的预测，到2030年，全球新增光伏装机量将达到1500GW-2000GW。这一装机规模相当于2021年新增装机量的10倍。 至尊彩票地图 |
