| Official: nuclear
radiation level under control (03/14/2003)
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.
