China News Network, Guiyang, July 10th. At the 2016 annual meeting of the Guiyang International Forum on Ecological Civilization held here, international experts participating in the "Thematic Forum on Nuclear Safety" agreed with the achievements of China's nuclear power development for more than 30 years, and emphasized that only through international cooperation Ensure that countries achieve the highest levels of nuclear safety and security.
Huang Runqiu, deputy minister of the Ministry of Environmental Protection of China, said that as a major country in nuclear energy development, China attaches great importance to nuclear safety issues, and China maintains a good nuclear safety record. The development history of China's nuclear power for more than 30 years has maintained a good operating performance and safety level. There have never been any incidents on the international nuclear incident scale 2 or above.
According to Huang Runqiu, China currently has a total of 56 nuclear power plants, of which 30 are in operation and 26 are under construction. According to the medium and long-term development plan for nuclear power, by 2020, the goal of operating 50 million kilowatts and 38 million kilowatts under construction will be reached, and the total number of units may reach 90.
The main reason for the series of achievements in the development of China's nuclear industry is that the Chinese government has long attached great importance to nuclear safety. Gao Hongbin, deputy director of the Department of System Engineering, China's National Atomic Energy Agency, introduced China's nuclear safety to build a safe and developing nuclear fuel cycle industrial system; establish a complete and rapid response nuclear emergency system; build a nuclear security system with international advanced standards; build a fair, Cooperation and win-win international nuclear safety system.
At the "Nuclear Safety Theme Forum" of the International Forum on Ecological Civilization in Guiyang, Chinese and foreign nuclear experts gather in Guiyang to conduct in-depth discussions on the theme of ensuring nuclear safety and promoting ecological civilization.
