Nuclear Safety in China 

China has always been committed to taking nuclear safety as an important national responsibility. Nuclear safety underpins every aspect of nuclear energy development and utilization in particular and the development of the nuclear industry in general. Regulatory measures follow the strictest standards, and adapt to the nuclear industry's evolving imperatives in a new context. With a proven safety track record and an unwavering commitment to innovation, China has been taking a distinctly Chinese approach to nuclear safety. 

China has incorporated the highest standards and strictest requirements in its policy and legal framework on nuclear safety, which are supplemented by five-year plans for nuclear safety. A unified and specialized regulatory structure has been put in place to ensure the independence, authority and effectiveness of nuclear safety regulation. A nuclear safety governance system has gradually taken shape, encompassing legal norms, administrative regulations, industry self-regulation, technical support, human resources support, cultural guidance, public participation, and international cooperation, among others. 

There have been increased exchanges and cooperation with other countries and international organizations in the field of nuclear safety. China is committed to strictly fulfilling its obligations under various nuclear energy conventions it has acceded to, and honoring its multilateral and bilateral nuclear safety commitments. It is ready to work with the international community to prevent and address nuclear safety risks and make contributions to enhancing global nuclear safety.
