核电企业核安全报告酝酿新规

Core Viewpoint - The Ministry of Ecology and Environment is drafting new regulations for nuclear power plant operators to report safety incidents, including cyberattacks, to enhance nuclear safety oversight in China [1][2]. Group 1: Regulatory Changes - The new guidelines aim to improve the reporting of nuclear safety incidents and are based on the evolving regulatory landscape and practical issues encountered in recent years [1]. - The draft guidelines require nuclear power plant operators to submit various reports, including regular reports, significant activity reports, construction phase incident reports, operational phase incident reports, and emergency reports related to nuclear accidents [1]. Group 2: Incident Reporting Requirements - Nuclear power plant operators must report any deviations from operational limits and conditions that cannot be restored within the specified time frame [2]. - Cyberattack incidents that could adversely affect nuclear safety, physical protection, or emergency response must be reported to the National Nuclear Safety Administration [2]. Group 3: External and Internal Threats - Any natural events or external incidents that pose a real threat to nuclear safety or hinder personnel from performing safety duties must be reported [3]. - Internal incidents, such as fires, explosions, or chemical releases, also require reporting to ensure comprehensive safety oversight [4]. Group 4: Current Nuclear Power Capacity and Safety Measures - As of now, China's nuclear power generation capacity has reached 113 million kilowatts, making it the largest globally [4]. - The safety of nuclear power plants is ensured through the implementation of earthquake monitoring systems and protocols for responding to extreme natural disasters [5].
