"Nuclear and radiation safety control is national security and social stability in an important sector, the environmental protection department is one of the three functions." Tian Xie said that the establishment of Nuclear Safety Administration is not only Sichuan "nucleus of the" situation and work task, but also the national security needs. He briefed the reporters on the provincial establishment of the National Nuclear Safety Authority, the administrative departments in charge of environmental protection at all levels and their nuclear and radiation safety regulatory agencies in accordance with the law of the SAR core and radiation safety unified supervision and management, and speed up the building of a high-quality nuclear and radiation environment security management team. Province Nuclear Safety Administration will promote the city (state), counties (cities, districts) radiation monitoring institutions and the necessary personnel and equipment for, in order to fully enhance nuclear and radiation environment monitoring capability. Besides, the provincial Office for Nuclear Safety will be the nuclear and radiation safety management of the environment and socio-economic development planning at the same time, the simultaneous implementation, and speed up local legislation, increase investment and strengthen the regulatory capacity-building and accountability.
