CHINA, the world's biggest energy user, has approved a five-year nuclear safety plan after last year's Fukushima disaster in Japan spurred the government to halt new power plants.
The quality of the country's nuclear plants is "under control" and they meet national and International Atomic Energy Agency standards, a statement posted on the central government website said. The statement didn't mention when China will resume approval of new nuclear power plants.
Some nuclear power plants did not meet new requirements of flood control, and some had weak capabilities in the case of a tsunami, it said. A few civil reactors and fuel cycle facilities also did not meet new earthquake standards, it said. Corrective measures have been taken, the statement said.
