关于核能，中法发布联合声明

Core Viewpoint - The joint statement emphasizes the importance of nuclear energy as a clean, low-carbon, and stable energy source in addressing global challenges such as climate change and energy security [2][3]. Group 1: Cooperation Framework - Both parties recognize that nuclear energy cooperation is a vital part of the comprehensive strategic partnership between China and France, building on existing successful collaborations [3]. - The cooperation will focus on areas such as the construction and operation management of third-generation pressurized water reactor nuclear power plants, extending the life of existing nuclear power plants, decommissioning permanently closed plants, and managing radioactive waste [3]. Group 2: Technological Innovation - Both parties agree that technological innovation is crucial for enhancing the safety and economic viability of nuclear energy, and they will continue to leverage existing projects for innovation and research collaboration [3]. - New potential cooperation projects will be explored in areas such as small modular reactor development, application of artificial intelligence (especially through digitalization and automation in manufacturing), and peaceful uses beyond electricity production, such as thermal energy and medical radioactive isotopes [3]. Group 3: Supply Chain Coordination - The parties acknowledge the importance of coordinated cooperation in nuclear fuel supply, nuclear equipment manufacturing, and uranium resource security to ensure the stability of the nuclear industry supply chain [3]. - They commit to ensuring safe, reliable, and sustainable management of spent fuel and radioactive waste, while also enhancing collaboration in the nuclear energy industry chain [3]. Group 4: Nuclear Fusion and Safety - Both parties recognize nuclear fusion energy as a significant development direction for peaceful nuclear energy use and a future option for abundant zero-carbon energy, committing to deep participation in the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) project [4]. - They emphasize the need to maintain and strengthen nuclear safety and security efforts, enhancing experience exchange and technical cooperation between government departments, regulatory agencies, and relevant technical support units [5]. Group 5: Education and Training - The development of nuclear science and industry requires sustainable and sufficient professional skills training, and both parties will continue to collaborate in education and training for nuclear science and engineering [5]. - This collaboration aims to solidify the talent foundation necessary for the sustainable development of nuclear energy in both countries [5]. Group 6: Commitment to Non-Proliferation - Both parties reaffirm their commitment to the international nuclear non-proliferation regime, particularly the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, and recognize the role of the International Atomic Energy Agency in establishing a robust global framework for nuclear safety and security [5]. - They will provide necessary resources to achieve these goals, within the limits of available funding and domestic legal requirements [5]. Group 7: Global Nuclear Energy Development - Both parties support the development of international nuclear energy, aiming for a low-carbon energy structure in accordance with international obligations on nuclear safety, security, and non-proliferation [5]. - They recognize the aspiration to develop global nuclear energy and support France's declaration to triple global nuclear energy from 2020 to 2050 as part of accelerating carbon neutrality commitments [5].
