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.
历史最低价！特斯拉大降价意欲何为？****** 中新网1月7日电(中新财经 葛成) 6日，“特斯拉降价”话题登上热搜。此前，特斯拉已屡屡因为价格调整，尤其是降价的话题登上热搜引发热议。 特斯拉降价，为何经常引发反响？背后有何市场图谋？  1月6日，特斯拉官网两款车型售价截图。两款车型降至历史最低价 特斯拉高管回应 据特斯拉中国官网显示，特斯拉国产车型降价，两款车型已降至历史最低价。其中，Model 3起售价22.99万元，Model Y起售价25.99万元。此前，这两款车型的起售价分别为26.59万元和28.89万元。 在相关话题登上热搜后，特斯拉外事务副总裁陶琳回应称，“特斯拉价格调整的背后，涵盖了无数工程创新，实质上是独一无二的成本控制之极佳定律”。陶琳还称，特斯拉从“第一性原理出发”，坚持以成本定价。 不过，这番回应却难以与刚提车的老车主形成共鸣。有车主在网络上发帖称：“特斯拉降价，他不到一个月就亏了三万五，2022年买车的车主就是个笑话。”也有车主表现得淡定一些，表示“笑着安慰自己‘早买早享受’。” 虽然车主态度不一，但特斯拉在三个月内连续降价两次却是不争的事实。2022年10月，特斯拉宣布降价，Model 3和Model Y两款车型降价幅度为1.4万元-3.7万元。  图为特斯拉上海超级工厂。 特斯拉方面供图降价背后，特斯拉去年交付量未完成马斯克的目标 此前，特斯拉的降价幅度虽然不小，但并没有对其提振销量起到“立竿见影”的效果。 乘联会发布的中国市场预估销量显示，特斯拉在12月交付了55796辆中国制造的电动汽车，这是五个月来的最低水平。这一数字较11月份下降44%，较上年同期下降21%。 特斯拉近日公布的年度产销数据显示，2022年，其全年产量为1369611辆，同比增长47%；全年交付量为1313851辆，同比增长40%。虽然产销双双突破了百万辆大关，但交付量距离马斯克在2022年初定下的提升50%的目标仍有差距。 当地时间1月5日，特斯拉股价收跌2.9%，报110.34美元。2022年，特斯拉股价累计下跌约70%，创下自上市以来最糟糕的年度表现。  资料图：特斯拉Model 3。 中新社记者 易海菲 摄特斯拉逆势降价的“底牌”，是什么？ 进入2023年，受新能源汽车购置补贴终止影响，包括比亚迪、大众、奇瑞在内的十多家车企都陆续宣布对旗下新能源汽车涨价。 这样的背景下，特斯拉为何要“反向操作”，底气何来？ 财报显示，特斯拉2022年第三季度营收近215亿美元，同比增长56%。按美国通用会计准则，特斯拉第三季度营业利润为37亿美元，营业利润率为17.2%。其中，特斯拉单车利润约为9570美元(人民币6.93万元)。 在单车利润这一数据方面，大多数新能源车企难以与特斯拉抗衡。 财报数据显示，2022年上半年，包括蔚来、小鹏、理想在内的“造车新势力”单车利润仍为负值。东吴证券预计，与特斯拉一样，同为新能源制造车企的比亚迪，2022年第三季度单车净利润约为1万元，虽然创下历史新高，但相比特斯拉依旧差距明显。 上述优势成为了特斯拉降价的“底牌”之一，也是特斯拉市场竞争的一个重要“杀手锏”。 市场分析人士认为，特斯拉的“历史低价”，将在2023年进一步加剧新能源汽车市场的竞争，让消费者享受到实惠，但对部分利润微薄或是负数的车企而言，无疑是“重磅一击”。 特斯拉降价了，你会买吗？
