□ conducting exchanges and cooperation with foreign governments on issues concerning nuclear power.
The Ministry of Ecology and Environment (National Nuclear Safety Administration) (MEE/NNSA) is the regulatory body for nuclear safety in China. It is responsible for:
□ centralized supervision and monitoring of nuclear facility safety, radiation safety and protection of the environment from harmful effects of ionizing radiation;
□ supervision and monitoring of nuclear power plants, research reactors and critical facilities, nuclear fuel cycle facilities, radioactive waste, radioactive sources and radiation devices, nuclear material, civil nuclear safety equipment, uranium (thorium) mines and associated minerals, and the safe transportation of radioactive materials;
