A senior official said Friday, according to monitoring results,
China's current nuclear radiation level is within the controlled
scope and there should be no problem with it.
Xie Zhenhua, director of the State Environmental Protection
Administration, told a news conference that to ensure nuclear
safety, the National People's Congress is discussing a law for
preventing nuclear radiation pollution.
He
said that each step of nuclear production and construction is
subject to strict examination, special monitoring institutions and
personnel are held accountable for the supervision of construction
and operation of nuclear facilities. In addition, the disposal of
nuclear waste is also strictly controlled.
He
said that to ensure no impact on the environment, China has built
automatic and continuous monitoring network in places around
nuclear facilities, and has built storehouses in relevant provinces
for centralized storing of civil radiation waste.
