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.
