Three-tiered Nuclear Emergency Preparedness and Response System
The central government designates an agency to lead nuclear emergency management at the national level. In the provinces (or autonomous regions or municipalities directly under the central government) where nuclear facilities are located, local governments designate agencies to lead nuclear emergency management within their respective jurisdictions. Nuclear facility operators and the competent authorities overseeing their operations are responsible for on-site emergency management. Wherever necessary, the central government will lead, organize, and coordinate nuclear emergency management at the national level.
National nuclear emergency response capabilities are deployed through a central coordination mechanism, which also covers civil-military coordination. Three tiers of capabilities are maintained at the levels of the state, provinces and nuclear facility operators. Capacity building in this connection has remained a priority.
Effective nuclear emergency response requires centrally coordinated deployment of various available resources at all levels and seamless cooperation among all actors concerned under the national institutional framework for nuclear emergency response in accordance with the nuclear emergency response plans, which was developed by the national and local authorities supplemented by corresponding plans of the operators of nuclear facilities.
三级核应急体系
中国核应急管理工作由中央政府指定部门牵头负责。核设施所在地的省（区、市）人民政府指定部门负责本行政区域内的核应急管理工作。核设施营运单位及其上级主管部门（单位）负责场内核应急管理工作。必要时，由中央政府领导、组织、协调全国的核事故应急管理工作。
国家建立全国统一的核应急能力体系，部署军队和地方两个工作系统，区分国家级、省级、核设施营运单位级三个能力层次，推进核应急领域的各种力量建设。
按照国家、相关省（区、市）和各核设施营运单位制定的核应急预案，在国家核应急体制机制框架下，各级各类核应急力量统一调配、联动使用，共同承担核事故应急处置任务。
