CHINA will develop nuclear power under an "extremely safe" conditions after drawing lessons from the Fukushima nuclear power station accident in Japan last year, Zhao Qizheng, a spokesman for the country's top political advisory body, said yesterday.
Zhao made the remarks when asked about China's nuclear power policy at a press conference.
Safety remains top priority in the country's development of nuclear power as China is endeavoring to design and construct third-generation nuclear power stations according to safer standards, Zhao said.
He said the Fukushima crisis, after nuclear accidents at Three Mile Island in the United States and Chernobyl in Ukraine, has again sounded the alarm of safety and raised global concerns about nuclear power stations.
He said Japan has paid a huge price for the Fukushima damage in the wake of the devastating earthquake and tsunami in March last year, and the world has learned lessons from it. Shortly after the Fukushima nuclear crisis, China launched inspections of its nuclear stations and adopted more stringent measures, he said.
Zhao said China is currently redoubling efforts to review safety guidelines concerning nuclear power stations and adjusting its strategy on long-term development of nuclear power to enhance the capacity of handling extreme natural disasters and emergency response capabilities at nuclear power stations and nuclear facilities.
He noted that China hopes to strengthen cooperation and exchanges with Japan on nuclear power and other new resources, so the two countries can learn from each other and improve their new resources development capacities.
