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.
周边众筹破亿,“杀疯了”的流浪地球会有主题乐园吗?****** 中新网1月31日电(中新财经 左雨晴) 累计票房27亿、多平台评分第一、北美周末票房前十、英国上映当日票房前十……春节档上映的《流浪地球2》,让不少网友惊呼“杀疯了!” 电影里,剧情细节引发热议;电影外,《流浪地球2》也迎来中国科幻电影与观众的“双向奔赴”:1月30日,赛凡科幻空间出品的《流浪地球2》周边众筹进度突破1亿元人民币。 27亿票房带动超1亿元周边众筹,《流浪地球2》向电影行业与观众展示的,不仅是中国式科幻电影的极致浪漫,还有衍生品市场的无限潜力。 爆单1亿元 网友呼吁“一户一笨” 春节档上映的《流浪地球2》,无疑是目前讨论热度最高的电影之一。但对于已二刷电影的孙雪(化名)来说,单纯讨论剧情已不能满足她对“小破球”的喜爱,在得知赛凡推出了正版授权周边的第一时间,她立刻选择了下单。 1月31日,《流浪地球2》三款周边淘宝众筹总金额已经破1.2亿元。 截图自淘宝“造点新货”平台。孙雪告诉中新财经,自己很喜欢电影里的机械狗笨笨和人工智能MOSS,于是选择购买了成品模型。“其实还有拼装版,但我对拼胶并不了解,考虑再三还是买了成品。”而在赛凡官博的评论区内,也有网友留言称自己买了拼装版:“想要和孩子一起组装。” 中新财经注意到,作为《流浪地球2》官方正版授权商的赛凡,除上架了徽章、鼠标垫等“软周边”现货外,还推出了三款众筹产品:机械狗笨笨、数字生命卡和人工智能MOSS。其中,最便宜的MOSS拼装版价格为148元,最贵的笨笨成品版为488元。 尽管价格并不便宜,但粉丝们还是选择了“激情下单”。《流浪地球2》周边实际众筹金额迅速突破千万,并成为最快破亿的影视IP衍生品。对此,赛凡称众筹金额已远超预期,呼吁大家理性消费。 然而这未能阻止网友“上头”,不少网友纷纷表示希望能实现“一户一笨”,并为周边设计出谋划策:“数字生命卡的设计可以再改进一下。”“还想要太空电梯、门框机器人!”一些网友提出更“硬核”的周边需求:“外骨骼装甲可以有吗?”更有粉丝直言:“我们买的不是周边,是中国科幻的未来!” “让人类保持理性,确实是一种奢求。”对此,有网友借用电影中的台词调侃。 29日晚,“爆单”的赛凡不得不发布众筹产品截档公告,表示因工厂本年度产能原因,为最大程度保障产品品质以及发货周期,最终决定在销售完今年产能数量后截档。 30日,在赛凡成交数近50万、众筹金额破亿后,孙雪再度下单了定制版的数字生命卡。“大家都在戏称这个是‘赛博骨灰盒’,我觉得自己也可以体验一下赛博式浪漫。”她向中新财经表示,下单当晚该产品预订已彻底告罄。 除赛凡外,徐工集团、52TOYS的《流浪地球2》正版衍生品众筹项目也均远超目标金额,正版授权的《流浪地球》手游也在日前开启了预约通道,一场属于流浪地球的消费“狂欢”正持续上演。 《流浪地球2》海报国产影视IP从无到有 主题乐园还远吗? 周边众筹超1亿元,这届消费者为何如此愿意为《流浪地球》掏钱? 作为IP的延伸,衍生品一直承载着消费者对IP的情绪化消费,成为IP商品化后的重要收入渠道。艾瑞网在相关报告中指出,娱乐IP衍生品价值除了可以扩宽商业变现能力之外,还可以延长IP的生命周期,丰富IP内容的宣传渠道。 长期以来,国外头部IP诸如漫威宇宙、迪士尼、哈利·波特等,都对国内消费者影响深远。而近年来国内影视IP爆款不断,佳作频出,也刺激了国产IP衍生品市场,年轻消费群体对国产IP衍生品的购买尤为慷慨。 2015年7月,电影《西游记之大圣归来》衍生品上线淘宝众筹,一天内便筹款破千万,刷新了淘宝众筹娱乐类项目的筹款金额纪录;一年后,《大鱼海棠》上映两周,其衍生品销售总额就已达5000多万元,远超其3000万元制片成本;2018年,《流浪地球》衍生品的众筹总额则为769万元;《山河令》《陈情令》《盗墓笔记》《白蛇2:青蛇劫起》等也均迎来过衍生品热销。 但与国外头部IP相比,《大圣归来》等IP缺乏延续性和稳定性,其衍生品的热销也犹如“昙花一现”,生命力并不持久。有业内人士指出,目前国内影视IP的衍生品市场仍不成熟,除内容端与衍生品端割裂、衍生品不够多元化外,侵权盗版等乱象也会打击IP对衍生品市场的信心。 例如,此前曾大热的《哪吒之魔童降世》,其周边销售计划未能与电影上映同步,导致当众筹项目姗姗来迟时,市场上早已是盗版横生。想要向迪士尼、漫威的商业模式看齐,打造纯熟的全产业链,对国内IP来说仍是任重而道远。 目前,《流浪地球2》多批次众筹产品均已售罄。根据赛凡公布的发货周期,众筹期间的订单最晚将于今年11月底全部完成发货。不少网友已开始在微博上催工:“生产线要起火星子了!” 不过,面对如此庞大的订单量,也不乏网友对赛凡的产能、品控表示出担忧。孙雪也有此种想法:“品控一直是周边销售的问题之一,尤其是这次众筹数量大、批次多,希望厂家能严格把控质量。” 但毫无疑问的是,《流浪地球》连续两部电影的出色表现,已让不少网友对其IP的生命力抱有极大的希望,他们的消费需求已不仅仅局限于购买周边模型,有网友表示:“希望有一天能够去流浪地球主题乐园。”(完)
