Administrative Framework 

The China Atomic Energy Authority (CAEA) is the competent authority for the nuclear industry in China. It is responsible for: 

□ the development and implementation of policies, regulations, programs, plans, and industry standards with regards to the nuclear industry (excluding nuclear power); 

□ nuclear security and nuclear material control, nuclear facilities decommissioning and radioactive waste management, nuclear export review and management, and exchanges and cooperation with foreign governments and international organizations in the nuclear field; and 

□ the assumption of a leading role in national nuclear emergency management. 

The National Energy Administration (NEA) is the competent authority for nuclear power in China. It is responsible for: 

□ developing laws, regulations and rules concerning nuclear power; 

□ developing development plans, access conditions and technical standards for nuclear power; 

□ proposing geographical distribution of nuclear power plants and reviewing major projects; 

□ organizing, coordinating and guiding scientific research in the field of nuclear power; □ organizing emergency management in case of accidents at nuclear power plants; and 

□ conducting exchanges and cooperation with foreign governments on issues concerning nuclear power. 

The Ministry of Ecology and Environment (National Nuclear Safety Administration) (MEE/NNSA) is the regulatory body for nuclear safety in China. It is responsible for: 

□ centralized supervision and monitoring of nuclear facility safety, radiation safety and protection of the environment from harmful effects of ionizing radiation; 

□ supervision and monitoring of nuclear power plants, research reactors and critical facilities, nuclear fuel cycle facilities, radioactive waste, radioactive sources and radiation devices, nuclear material, civil nuclear safety equipment, uranium (thorium) mines and associated minerals, and the safe transportation of radioactive materials; 

□ qualification management of reactor operators and personnel engaged in special processes of nuclear equipment; and 

□ implementation of the international conventions on nuclear and radiation safety. 

Under the direction of the State Council, other authorities also have nuclear-related responsibilities in their respective areas of focus.
