原子的发现和核能的开发利用，给人类发展带来了新的动力，极大增强了人类认识世界和改造世界的能力。同时，核能发展也伴生着安全风险和挑战。人类要更好利用核能、实现更大发展，必须应对好各种核安全挑战，维护好核安全。
The discovery of the atom and the subsequent development and utilization of nuclear energy have given a new impetus to the progress of humanity and greatly enhanced our ability to understand and shape the world. Yet nuclear energy has associated risks and challenges. To better utilize nuclear energy and achieve greater progress, we must properly respond to the challenges it poses and ensure nuclear safety.

中华人民共和国成立初期，面对国家建设和发展的需要，中国政府作出了开发利用核能的重大决定，中国核事业（注1）正式起步。近70年来，中国核事业从无到有、持续发展，形成了完备的核工业体系，为保障能源安全、保护生态环境、提高人民生活水平、促进经济高质量发展作出了重要贡献。中国始终把保障核安全作为重要的国家责任，融入核能开发利用全过程，始终以安全为前提发展核事业，按照最严格标准实施监督管理，始终积极适应核事业发展的新要求，不断推动核安全与时俱进、创新发展，保持了良好的安全记录，走出一条中国特色核安全之路。
In the early days of the People’s Republic of China, due to the requirement for national development, the Chinese government made a major decision to develop and utilize nuclear energy, officially launching its nuclear industry. Over the past 70 years, China’s nuclear industry has grown from scratch, developed steadily, and formed a complete system, which has made an important contribution to ensuring energy security, protecting the environment, improving people’s living standards, and promoting high-quality economic development. China has always regarded nuclear safety as an important national responsibility, and integrated it into the entire process of nuclear energy development and utilization. It has always developed the nuclear industry subject to considerations of safety, implemented regulation in accordance with the strictest standards, and adapted to the new requirements of the nuclear industry. China’s nuclear industry has always developed in line with the latest safety standards and maintained a good safety record, pursuing an innovation-driven path of nuclear safety with Chinese characteristics.

党的十八大以来，中国的核安全事业进入安全高效发展的新时期。习近平主席提出理性、协调、并进的核安全观，强调发展和安全并重，倡导打造全球核安全命运共同体，为新时期中国核安全发展指明了方向，为推进核能开发利用国际合作、实现全球持久核安全提供了中国方案。在核安全观引领下，中国逐步构建起法律规范、行政监管、行业自律、技术保障、人才支撑、文化引领、社会参与、国际合作等为主体的核安全治理体系，核安全防线更加牢固。
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China’s nuclear industry has entered a new period of safe and efficient development. President Xi Jinping proposed a rational, coordinated and balanced nuclear safety strategy, placing equal emphasis on development and safety, and advocating building a community of shared future for global nuclear safety – he has pointed out the direction for China’s nuclear safety for a new era, and provided the Chinese approach to international cooperation in the development and utilization of nuclear energy, and to lasting global nuclear safety. Under the guidance of this strategy, China has gradually built a nuclear safety governance system with legal norms, administrative regulation, industry self-discipline, technical support, personnel support, cultural guidance, public participation, and international cooperation as the pillars. The guarantee of nuclear safety is stronger.

作为构建公平、合作、共赢的国际核安全体系的重要倡导者、推动者和参与者，中国在做好自身核安全的同时，认真履行核安全国际义务，大力推动核安全双多边合作，积极促进核能和平利用造福全人类，为全球核安全治理贡献了中国智慧、中国力量。
China is an important advocate, promoter and participant in building a fair, collaborative and mutually beneficial international nuclear safety system. It has done a good job in ensuring its own nuclear safety, fulfilled its international obligations, and promoted bilateral and multilateral cooperation on nuclear safety. We have actively promoted the peaceful use of nuclear energy for the benefit of all humanity and contributed China’s wisdom and strength to global nuclear safety governance.

为介绍中国核安全事业发展历程，阐述中国核安全的基本原则和政策主张，分享中国核安全监管的理念和实践，阐明中国推进全球核安全治理进程的决心和行动，特发布本白皮书。
This white paper is being released to introduce China’s approach to nuclear safety, elaborate on its basic principles and policies, share the concepts and practices of regulation, and clarify China’s determination to promote global nuclear safety governance and the actions it has taken to achieve this.

一、树立理性、协调、并进的核安全观
I. Following a Rational, Coordinated and Balanced Nuclear Safety Strategy

2014年3月24日，在荷兰海牙第三届核安全峰会上，习近平主席提出理性、协调、并进的核安全观。中国核安全观是习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想在核安全领域的集中体现，是中国总体国家安全观的重要组成部分，是核安全治理领域的重大理论创新，是推进国际核安全进程的重要里程碑，为解决核安全全球治理的根本性问题，构建核安全命运共同体指明了原则、方法和路径。
On March 24, 2014, at the third Nuclear Security Summit in The Hague, the Netherlands, President Xi Jinping proposed a rational, coordinated and balanced nuclear safety strategy. China’s nuclear safety strategy is the embodiment of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era in the nuclear field, an important element of China’s overall national security framework, and a major innovation in the theory of nuclear safety governance. The strategy is an important milestone in promoting international nuclear safety. It lays out the principles and methods for addressing the fundamental issues of global nuclear safety governance and building a community of shared future for nuclear safety.

中国核安全观的核心内涵是“四个并重”。全面系统推进核安全进程，是中国核安全观的核心要义，体现为发展和安全并重、权利和义务并重、自主和协作并重、治标和治本并重。
The kernel of China’s nuclear safety strategy is the “Four Emphases”. Systematically promoting nuclear safety in an all-round way is the main purpose of China’s nuclear safety strategy, which is embodied in equal emphasis on development and safety, rights and obligations, independent efforts and coordination, and symptoms and root causes.

——发展和安全并重，以确保安全为前提发展核能事业。发展是安全的基础，安全是发展的条件。发展和安全是人类和平利用核能的基本诉求，犹如车之两轮、鸟之双翼，相辅相成、缺一不可。应秉持为发展求安全、以安全促发展的理念，让发展和安全两个目标有机融合、相互促进。只有实现更好发展，才能真正管控安全风险；只有实现安全保障，核能才能持续发展。
– We should place equal emphasis on development and safety, and develop the nuclear industry in a context of guaranteed safety. Development is the foundation of safety, while safety is a precondition of development. Development and safety are the basic requirements of humanity for the peaceful use of nuclear energy. We should uphold the concept of seeking safety for development and promoting development with safety, so that the two objectives can be integrated and mutually reinforcing. Only by achieving better development can we truly control safety risks; and only by guaranteeing safety can nuclear energy achieve sustainable development.

——权利和义务并重，以尊重各国权益为基础推进国际核安全进程。各国应切实履行核安全国际法律文书规定的义务，全面执行联合国安理会有关决议，巩固和发展现有核安全法律框架。同时，坚持公平原则，秉持务实精神，尊重各国根据本国国情采取适合自身的核安全政策和举措的权利，尊重各国保护核安全敏感信息的权利。

At the same time, we should adhere to the principle of fairness and uphold pragmatism in respecting the right of all countries to adopt their own nuclear safety policies and measures suited to their national conditions, and respecting their right to protect sensitive nuclear safety information.

——自主和协作并重，以互利共赢为途径寻求普遍核安全。核安全首先是国家课题，首要责任应由各国政府承担。各国政府应知责任、负责任，既对自己负责，也对世界负责，加强协作、共建共享、互利共赢，既从中受益，也作出贡献，努力实现核安全进程全球化。
– We should place equal emphasis on independent efforts and coordination, and seek universal nuclear safety with a mutually beneficial approach. Nuclear safety is first and foremost a national issue, and the primary responsibility should be borne by the government of each country. Governments should understand and undertake their responsibilities, and be responsible not only to themselves but also to the world. They should strengthen coordination, make joint efforts, share achievements, and seek mutual benefit. We should benefit from and contribute to nuclear safety, and endeavor to globalize nuclear safety.

——治标和治本并重，以消除根源为目标全面推进核安全努力。完善核安全政策举措，发展现代化和低风险核能，坚持核材料供需平衡，加强防扩散出口控制，深化打击核恐怖主义国际合作，消除核安全隐患和核扩散风险。各国应团结起来，发展和谐友善的国家关系，共同营造和平稳定的国际环境，从根源上解决核恐怖主义和核扩散问题，实现核能的持久安全和发展。
– We should place equal emphasis on symptoms and root causes, and comprehensively promote nuclear safety by eliminating the root causes of risk. We will improve nuclear safety policy measures, develop modern and low-risk nuclear energy, maintain a balance between supply and demand in nuclear materials, strengthen non-proliferation efforts and export control, further international cooperation against nuclear terrorism, and eliminate potential dangers to nuclear safety and risks of nuclear proliferation. All countries should work together to develop harmonious and friendly relations, create a peaceful and stable international environment, and solve the problems of nuclear terrorism and proliferation from the root, thus realizing the lasting safety and development of nuclear energy.

二、构建核安全政策法规体系
II. Building a Policy and Legal Framework on Nuclear Safety

中国是核能与核技术利用大国，核安全是国家安全的重要内容，政策法规是核安全的基本保障。中国从高从严构建核安全政策法规体系，实施国家核安全战略，制定核安全中长期规划，完善核安全法规标准，确保核安全管理要求从高不从低、管理尺度从严不从宽。
China is a leading country in the application of nuclear energy and technologies. Nuclear safety is critical to national security, and the corresponding policies and laws are the cornerstone of nuclear safety. To achieve optimal management of nuclear safety, China employs the highest standards and strictest requirements in shaping the policy and legal framework, implementing a national strategy, making medium- and long-term plans, and improving laws and regulations concerning nuclear safety.

制定实施国家核安全战略。中国将开发利用核能作为促进经济社会快速发展、建设美丽中国的重要战略，纳入国民经济和社会发展中长期规划。中华人民共和国成立以来特别是改革开放以来，中国核能利用从起步发展、适度发展到积极发展、安全高效发展，始终坚持安全第一，实现发展和安全两个目标相互促进、有机融合。
Formulating a national nuclear safety strategy. China treats the development and utilization of nuclear energy as an important strategy to boost economic and social development and build a beautiful China, including it in the country’s medium- and long-term plans for national economic and social development. Since the founding of the People’s Republic of China, and particularly since reform and opening up, China has committed itself to prioritizing nuclear safety and maintaining a balance between safety and development throughout the stages of initial, early, active, and safe and efficient development.

制定发布核安全中长期发展规划。在国民经济和社会发展五年规划的总体框架下，中国每五年制定实施核安全中长期规划，先后发布了《核安全与放射性污染防治“十二五”规划及2020年远景目标》《核安全与放射性污染防治“十三五”规划及2025年远景目标》，分析了核安全现状与形势，阐明了核安全指导思想和基本原则，明确了核安全目标指标、重点任务、重点工程、保障措施，统筹核安全各项工作，有效提升核安全水平和监管能力。
Making medium- and long-term development plans for nuclear safety. China makes medium- and long-term development plans for nuclear safety every five years under the framework of the Five-year Plan for National Economic and Social Development. It has released the 12th Five-year Plan for Nuclear Safety and Radioactive Pollution Prevention and Control and Vision for 2020, and the 13th Five-year Plan for Nuclear Safety and Radioactive Pollution Prevention and Control and Vision for 2025, analyzing the situation, clarifying guidelines and principles, and
defining goal indicators, key tasks and projects, and supportive measures for nuclear safety. These plans have helped to coordinate all efforts to ensure nuclear safety and effectively improved our nuclear safety and regulatory capacity.

建立系统完备的法规标准体系。中国持续强化核安全法规标准建设，形成了法律、行政法规、部门规章相衔接，法规要求和技术标准相补充，中央和地方相结合的法规标准体系，实现了核能开发利用安全监管全覆盖，为依法治核夯实了基础。2003年6月，《中华人民共和国放射性污染防治法》颁布；2017年9月，《中华人民共和国核安全法》颁布。截至2019年6月，颁布《民用核设施安全监督管理条例》《民用核安全设备监督管理条例》《核材料管制条例》《核电厂核事故应急管理条例》等行政法规9部，发布部门规章30余项和安全导则100余项，制定核安全相关国家标准和行业标准1000余项，31个省、自治区、直辖市制定地方性法规文件200余个。及时总结国内外核安全实践经验，密切跟踪国际原子能机构和核电发达国家最新安全要求，不断更新法规标准，始终保持国际先进水平。
Establishing a sound system of laws and industrial standards. China continues to strengthen the formulation of the laws on nuclear safety, under which administrative regulations and departmental rules dovetail with the law, the provisions of laws and regulations and technical standards complement each other, and central and local regulations combine to the best effect. This makes the full regulation of nuclear energy development and utilization possible, laying the foundations for the rule of law in this sector. In June 2003, the Law of the People’s Republic of China on the Prevention and Control of Radioactive Pollution was promulgated; in September 2017, the Nuclear Safety Law of the People’s Republic of China was issued. By June 2019, China had enacted nine administrative regulations such as the Regulations on the Supervision and Administration of Civil Nuclear Facilities, the Regulations on the Supervision and Administration of Civil Nuclear Safety Equipment, the Regulations on Nuclear Material Control, and the Regulations on Emergency Management of Nuclear Accidents at Nuclear Power Plants. It had issued over 30 sets of departmental rules and 100 sets of safety guidelines, and formulated over 1,000 national and industry standards related to nuclear safety. Over 200 local regulations have been formulated by China’s 31 provinces and equivalent administrative units. To update legal standards and keep abreast with the most advanced international developments, we have reviewed and summarized domestic and overseas experience in nuclear safety, and closely tracked the latest safety standards of the International Atomic Energy Agency and countries with advanced nuclear technologies.

三、实施科学有效安全监管
III. Ensuring Effective Regulation of Nuclear Safety

中国把保障核安全作为重要的国家责任，成立专门机构实施统一监管，建立独立、公开、法治、理性、有效的监管体系，加强技术保障和人才队伍建设，不断推进核安全监管体系和监管能力现代化，保障了核安全监管的独立性、权威性和有效性。
China treats nuclear safety as an important obligation of the state, and exercises unified regulation through special organizations and a regulatory system underpinned by independence, openness, the rule of law, rationality, and effectiveness. To ensure independent regulation of nuclear safety and enhance its authority and effectiveness, China has strengthened technical support and developed a professional team while modernizing the system and the regulatory capacity.

建立健全“三位一体”监管机构。实行核安全、辐射安全和辐射环境管理的统一独立监管，建立了总部机关、地区监督站、技术支持单位“三位一体”的核安全监管组织体系。1984年，中国成立国家核安全局，负责民用核设施安全监督管理，制定核安全政策、法规、标准和规划，实施核安全许可，统筹全国核安全监管工作。设置华北、华东、华南、西南、西北、东北6个地区核与辐射安全监督站，作为国家核安全局派出机构，实施区域核安全监督检查。设立核与辐射安全中心、辐射环境监测技术中心等专业技术机构，为安全审查、独立验证、监督执法、辐射环境评价等提供全方位支持。各级地方政府结合实际设立监管机构或配备专兼职监管人员，开展本地区辐射安全监管。
A three-pronged regulatory system. In China, unified regulation over the surveillance of nuclear safety, radiation safety, and the radiation environment is exercised independently, and a three-pronged regulatory system consisting of headquarters, regional offices and technical support organizations is in place. Established in 1984, the National Nuclear Safety Administration is responsible for the regulation of civil nuclear facilities, the formulation of nuclear safety policies, laws, regulations, standards, and plans, the implementation of nuclear safety license management, and the coordination of nuclear safety regulation across the country. To perform nuclear and radiation safety surveillance it has six regional offices in the north, east, south, southwest, northwest, and northeast of China. Professional technical support organizations such as the Nuclear and Radiation Safety Center and the Radiation Monitoring Technical Center provide technical support for nuclear safety review, independent verification, surveillance, law
enforcement, and assessment of the radiation environment. Local governments at all levels regulate regional radiation safety through regulatory organizations or full-time/part-time regulators according to local conditions.

Comprehensive review and license management. The government has strengthened safety control of nuclear facilities, materials and activities and radioactive materials through comprehensive safety licensing and rigorous technical review. It exercises full life-cycle and phased license management over the siting, construction, operation, and decommissioning of nuclear power plants, research reactors, nuclear fuel cycle facilities, and facilities that handle the treatment, storage, and disposal of radioactive waste. The government implements license management over licensees that have nuclear materials, and over licensees that produce, sell and use radioisotope and radiation-emitting devices based on categories and levels of radiation. It performs approval and online monitoring over the transport of radioactive materials and implements license management over licensees that design, manufacture, install, and perform nondestructive testing of civil nuclear safety equipment, and licensees that design and manufacture containers for the transport of radioactive materials. A risk-informed and problem-oriented review system has been established, and efforts are being made to enhance the capacity of independent verification and calculations, probabilistic safety assessment, and risk assessment.

全过程开展监督执法。坚持依法严格对核设施和从事核活动的单位进行监督检查，确保符合核安全法规标准和许可要求。对核设施营运单位、核安全设备制造和核技术利用单位开展常态化监督检查，覆盖设计、采购、制造、建造、运行、退役等与核安全有关的全部物项和活动，对重点核设施、核活动开展驻厂安全监督，及时督促违规企业整改，对违法企业依法处罚。开展专项行动，严肃处理重大质量问题，严厉打击违规操作和弄虚作假行为。建设全国统一的核电厂和研究堆经验反馈平台，交流经验、共享信息，有效保障核设施安全运行。
Whole-process surveillance and law enforcement. The government performs rigorous surveillance of nuclear facilities and units that are engaged in nuclear activities in accordance with the law, to ensure compliance with nuclear safety laws, regulations, standards, and licensing requirements. It carries out regular surveillance of units that operate nuclear facilities, manufacture nuclear safety equipment, and utilize nuclear technologies, covering all matters and activities in relation to nuclear safety such as design, purchasing, manufacturing, construction, operation, and decommissioning. The government performs on-site safety surveillance of key nuclear facilities and activities, urges enterprises in violation of relevant regulations to rectify, and punishes those that violate the law. It has initiated special programs to handle major cases caused by quality issues, taking resolute action against operations involving falsification and violation of regulations. A national platform has been set up for nuclear power plants and research reactors to share experience and information, to effectively ensure the safe operation of nuclear facilities.

全天候监测辐射环境。建立国家、省和市三级辐射环境监测体系，建成全国辐射环境质量监测、重点核设施周围辐射环境监督性监测和核与辐射应急监测“三张网”，实现辐射环境全覆盖全天候监控。截至2019年6月，国家级辐射环境监测网络共有1501个监测点，包括167个大气辐射环境自动监测站、328个陆地点、362个土壤点、477个水体点、48个海水点、85个电磁辐射监测点、34个海洋生物监测点，并建立46套重点核设施周围辐射环境监督性监测系统和食品放射性物质监测点。
Round-the-clock radiation environment monitoring. China has established a three-tier radiation environment monitoring system at state, provincial and municipal level, and three networks – national radiation environment monitoring, surveillance monitoring of radiation environment in the vicinity of key nuclear facilities, and nuclear and radiation emergency monitoring – to monitor radiation environment round-the-clock in all areas. As of June 2019, the state radiation environment monitoring network had 1,501 monitoring sites: 167 automatic monitoring sites for atmospheric radiation, 328 land sites, 362 soil sites, 477 inland water sites, 48 seawater sites, 85 electromagnetic radiation sites, and 34 marine life sites. There were also 46 radiation environment surveillance monitoring systems set up in the vicinity of key nuclear facilities as well as sites set up to monitor radioactivity in food.

全面实施核安全改进行动。日本福岛核事故发生后，中国政府组织专门力量对全国运行核电厂、在建核电厂、研究堆和其他重要核设施开展了历时9个多月的综合安全检查，结果表明，中国核设施在选址时充分考虑了地震、洪水、海啸等影响，由极端自然事件引发核事故的可能性极小。为进一步提升核设施安全水平，汲取日本福岛核事故教训，中国政府制定并实施了核设施短期、中期、长期安全改进计划，增强了核设施抵御外部事件、预防和缓解严重事故的能力。
Full implementation of nuclear safety improvements. In the wake of the Fukushima nuclear accident in Japan, the Chinese government organized a nine-month safety inspection of the country’s operating nuclear power plants, those under construction, research reactors, and other key nuclear facilities. The result showed a minimal possibility of nuclear accidents, as the sites of China’s nuclear facilities had been selected with full consideration of extreme natural disasters such as earthquake, flood, and tsunami. Learning from Japan’s lesson, the Chinese government has further enhanced its nuclear facility safety by implementing improvement plans for the short, medium, and long terms and by increasing nuclear facilities’ capacity to resist external events and prevent and mitigate serious accidents.
