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.
【寻味中华】老北京涮羊肉：一锅清汤涮百年****** 中新社北京2月2日电 题：老北京涮羊肉：一锅清汤涮百年 中新社记者 陈杭 杜燕 一锅热气腾腾的老北京涮羊肉，堪称京城冬日最暖的陪伴。 涮羊肉又称羊肉火锅，一般认为始于元代，兴于清代。清末学者徐凌霄在《旧都百话》中将这种“羊肉锅子”的吃法归于北方游牧遗风进化而来。 与汤底红亮、麻辣鲜香的川渝火锅不同，作为北派火锅的代表，老北京涮羊肉主打清汤火锅。“清汤火锅不是一锅白开水，里边有海米、葱花、姜片、口蘑汤等底料。”国家级非遗技艺第四代传承人陈立新告诉记者，清汤火锅有两个特点，一是能吃到羊肉的本来滋味，二是不遮丑，羊肉有问题一口就能吃出来。  图为东来顺铜锅涮肉。陈杭摄越是简单的汤底，越考验羊肉的选材。据陈立新介绍，正宗老北京涮羊肉多选用内蒙古羊，“只选用羊上脑、大三叉、小三叉、黄瓜条与磨裆5个部位，占整羊净肉的四成左右”。 “黄瓜条”指羊后腿的大腿内侧部分，因形如两条相连的黄瓜而得名。北京民俗专家翟鸿起在《老饕说吃》中曾提到，他与老友去饭店吃涮肉时点了一盘“黄瓜条”，没想到却端上来一盘真黄瓜，翟老无奈感叹如今许多餐厅都是机器切卷，“谁还剔那肉去？更甭说黄瓜条了”。 开业于1854年的正阳楼饭庄可谓北京早年间最著名的“羊肉名家”，据清代《旧京琐记》记载，“肉市之正阳楼，以善切羊肉名。片薄如纸，无一不完整”。“后来居上”的东来顺始建于1903年，据说曾重金从正阳楼饭庄“挖”来一位刀功精湛的名厨，帮工传艺。 陈立新1971年进入东来顺做学徒，手切羊肉的功夫已有50余年。“左手控制肉片薄厚，右手握刀，横断丝，切出来的肉片纤维短，厚0.9毫米，入锅后一涮即熟，入口即化。”陈立新说，“手切羊肉还要求上下垂直，前后走直线，保证肉片薄厚均匀、排列整齐，每片长15厘米、宽3.3厘米，放在青花瓷盘上隐约可见盘底花纹。”  图为东来顺铜锅涮肉菜品。陈杭摄涮羊肉“一菜成席”，调料必不可少。以麻酱、酱油为主，韭菜花、酱豆腐为辅，虾油、料酒少许，辣椒油可自行添加，配腌好的糖蒜解腻。 羊肉吃到六分饱，辅料登场。作为涮羊肉的好搭档，冻豆腐吸满汤汁和羊肉的鲜香，大白菜烫后清香爽口、解腻增食，配上刚出炉的混着芝麻香的烧饼，舀上一小碗汩汩翻滚的羊汤，一口吞下整个冬季的温暖。 提到八岁时第一次吃涮羊肉的场景，北京市民贾先生印象深刻，“那时冬季物资不丰富，吃涮羊肉还是很奢侈的”，与亲人围坐铜锅旁，看着服务员添加了高高的烟囱，碳烧得通红，一个人就吃了三盘涮羊肉，味道鲜美至极。工作后，贾先生总是在国庆或春节期间约朋友吃一顿涮羊肉，热乎喜庆的气氛就像除夕一样。 一锅清汤涮百年。面对日新月异的市场环境，承载情感与味觉记忆的老字号既要留住“老味道”，亦不断向年轻人靠拢。“东来顺打造全新IP形象，发布了由‘来来羊’‘铜锅爷爷’和‘糖蒜狗’组成的‘馋嘴家族’。”东来顺集团副总经理董锴介绍说，在传统火锅堂食基础上，东来顺开发了肉片、肉串、熟食、面点等预包装产品，进入商超、市场、电商平台等，让老字号产品真正走向寻常百姓家。(完)
