全球民调：93.21%受访者强烈反对日本核污染水排海

　　日本政府计划于今年将福岛核电站产生的核废水排入太平洋，此举引发国际社会高度关注和广泛质疑。中央广播电视总台CGTN面向全球网友发起的一项调查显示，高达93.21%的受访者强烈反对日本政府的核污染水排海计划。

　　据了解，日本政府计划排放的核污染水中含有多达60多种放射性核素，很多核素目前尚无有效的处理技术。然而，日本政府和东京电力公司却声称，已经几乎消除了核废水中的所有放射性核素，净化后的核污染水是安全无害的。对此，90.28%的全球受访者表示日本政府和东京电力公司的说法难以令人信服，86.45%的受访者批评日本方面对核污染水的处置不科学、不公开、不透明。

　　目前，国际原子能机构技术工作组尚未完成对日方排海方案的评估，更未得出最终结论，反而指出日方排海方案同机构安全标准有诸多不符之处。尽管如此，日本仍一意孤行启动核污染水排海方案，加速推进排海工程建设。对此，91.21%的受访者认为，在现有科学手段无法证实经过处理的核污染水绝对安全的情况下，日本将核污染水向海洋一排了之的做法是极其不负责任的；92.33%的受访者对日本核污染水排海的负面影响深感担忧；90.78%的受访者认为核污染水排入海里将会对海洋环境和人体健康产生危害。

　　此外，德国海洋研究机构的研究表明，自日本福岛核污染水排海之日起，57天内放射性物质将扩散至太平洋大半区域，10年后蔓延至全球海域。一位网友在CGTN法语平台留言说：“全人类都应在日本核污染水处理技术方面拥有知情权”。调查中，持相同看法的受访者比例高达86.79%，大家认为核污染水的处置并非日本的“私事”，日本执意推进核污染水排海是将风险转嫁给其他国家和全人类。另有88.56%的受访者呼吁日本承担国际法义务，以科学、公开、透明、安全的方式处置核污染水，充分研究论证核废水处置方案，并且在同周边邻国等利益攸关方和有关国际机构充分协商并达成一致之前，日本不得擅自启动核污染水排海。

　　这项网络调查由CGTN民调在英、西、法、阿、俄五语种平台发布，24小时内共有33,746名受访者参与投票并表达看法。

　　In 2021, Japan unilaterally decided to discharge more than a million tonnes of nuclear-contaminated water into the Pacific Ocean, starting from the middle of this year. This wastewater comes from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, which was crippled by a massive earthquake and tsunami in 2011.

　　Japan's wastewater disposal plan has raised great concern and raised numerous doubts among the international community. A global opinion poll conducted by CGTN Think Tank showed that 93.21% of respondents were strongly opposed to Japan dumping nuclear-polluted water into the sea.

　　The nuclear wastewater contains more than 60 radionuclides, many of which have no effective treatment technology. Despite this, the Japanese government and Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) claim that the treated water is safe, as they claim to have eliminated almost all radionuclides from the wastewater.

　　According to the poll, 90.28 percent of people express that they do not trust the statement of the Japanese government and TEPCO, and 86.45 percent of respondents criticize that Japan has not handled its nuclear-contaminated water in a science-based, open and transparent manner.

　　The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has not completed its assessment of Japan's disposal plan nor drawn specific conclusions, and all its three reports published so far pointed out the plan's non-compliance with the agency's safety standards. Nevertheless, Japan has approved its own plan and expedited the construction of discharge facilities.

　　This has been seen as extremely irresponsible by 91.21% of global respondents since the available scientific means cannot ensure the absolute safety of the treated water. In addition, 92.33% of people are deeply concerned about the negative impact of nuclear wastewater discharge, and 90.78% of them believe that the release of nuclear-polluted water into the sea will be detrimental to the marine environment and public health.

　　According to a survey conducted by the German Institute for Marine Research, once Japan starts discharging nuclear-polluted water, the radioactive material will spread across most of the Pacific Ocean within 57 days and around the world within 10 years. 

　　"All mankind should have the right to know about Japan's nuclear wastewater treatment plan," voiced by a netizen on CGTN's French platform. In this regard, 86.79 percent of respondents agree that the disposal of nuclear-contaminated water is not Japan's "private matter," but concerns its neighbors, Pacific Island countries and even the whole world and mankind. If Japan insists on releasing wastewater into the sea, it will transfer the risk to other countries and mankind. 

　　In addition, 88.56 percent of respondents urge Japan to dispose nuclear-contaminated water in a scientific, open, transparent and safe manner, fulfilling its obligations under International Law. Japan should fully and prudently study and research its nuclear-contaminated water discharge plan, and should refrain from arbitrarily starting the discharge before fully consulting and agreeing with relevant international organizations and stakeholders such as neighboring countries.

　　This poll, published by CGTN in English, Spanish, French, Arabic and Russian platforms, received responses from 33746 people in 24 hours.
