国内英语资讯:Experts say Chinas commitment promotes global nuclear safety governance

BEIJING, Sept. 6 -- China's achievements in nuclear development and commitment to nuclear safety, as stated in its recently published white paper, contribute to global nuclear safety governance, experts have said.

China stated its stance on developing nuclear energy as an established policy in its first white paper on nuclear safety released on Tuesday, vowing to strengthen international cooperation and build a community of shared future for nuclear safety.

Titled "Nuclear Safety in China," the white paper was released by the State Council Information Office to elaborate on China's basic principles and policies in the field, share the concepts and practices of regulation and clarify its determination to promote global nuclear safety governance and the actions it has taken to achieve this.

Tony Roulstone, a lecturer in nuclear energy at the University of Cambridge, said the release of the white paper is "a significant public event" that commits China to an open and independent safety regulatory system.

"Continuing to build confidence in the Chinese nuclear energy program will be an important contribution to more widespread deployment of nuclear energy in response to climate change," he said.

Itzhak Orion, head of the Department of Nuclear Engineering at Israel's Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, said the white paper provides rich information and proposals on nuclear safety.

The white paper shows that China is open-minded and transparent, and gives "good knowledge regarding the operation of nuclear power plants" to other countries to make the nuclear industry safer, Orion said.
