Expert urges law on nuclear safety


AN expert has called for a law to guarantee the safety of China's nuclear energy industry.

Supervision currently depends on the 2003 Law on the Prevention and Control of Radioactive Pollution and several administrative regulations that are not compatible with China's nuclear energy development, said Zhu Zhiyuan, executive vice president of the Shanghai branch of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

China is in urgent need of a nuclear safety law, as it has the largest installed nuclear power capacity currently under construction in the world, Zhu said.

China carried out a nationwide safety review after Japan's Fukushima disaster in March 2011.
