China News Agency, Beijing, April 15 (Reporter Ruan Yulin) Guo Chengzhan, director of the Nuclear Facilities Safety Supervision Department of the Chinese Ministry of Ecology and Environment, told reporters in Beijing on the 15th that China's nuclear and radiation safety remained generally stable. The safety of 47 nuclear power units in operation is in good condition, and it is at a high level in the world.
The Ministry of Ecology and Environment (National Nuclear Safety Administration) aimed at the modernization goal of nuclear safety governance system and governance capability, and built an effective supervision system, which effectively guaranteed China's nuclear and radiation safety. Continue to improve nuclear safety supervision capabilities. Gradually form a nuclear and radiation safety supervision team of 100 headquarter organs, 1,000 central level personnel, and nearly 10,000 people across the country.
At the same time, continue to strengthen strict supervision according to law. Through the full chain safety permit and strict technical review, strengthen the safety control of nuclear facilities, nuclear materials, nuclear activities and radioactive materials.
Guo Chengzhan said that with the joint efforts of the whole industry and the whole society, China's nuclear and radiation safety has generally remained stable. In terms of the safety of nuclear facilities, the safety of 47 operating nuclear power units is in good condition, the quality of 15 units under construction is under control, 19 civil research reactors (critical devices) in service and 18 nuclear fuel cycle facilities are operating safely. The World Association of Nuclear Power Operators recently announced the ranking of the global nuclear power generating units in 2019, with 411 operating units participating in the global evaluation and 65 perfect scores, and China's 45 generating units participating and the 23 complete scores, which is at a high level in the world.
Guo Chengzhan said that China is a major country in the utilization of nuclear energy and nuclear technology, and is in a critical period of transition to a nuclear power. The international nuclear security situation is complex and changeable, and the unstable and uncertain factors have increased significantly. New technologies, new reactor types, and new equipment The introduction of the new technology will bring new challenges to China's nuclear safety supervision.
Guo Chengzhan pointed out that this year is the year of completion of the comprehensive construction of a well-off society and the "13th Five-Year Plan", as well as the year of planning for the nuclear safety work of the "14th Five-Year Plan". We will always adhere to the overall national safety concept and nuclear safety concept, comprehensively promote the modernization of the nuclear safety governance system and governance capabilities, and provide a solid guarantee for ensuring nuclear and radiation safety.
