- The State Council, 皇冠体育app's cabinet, recently approved the release of a revised version of the national nuclear emergency plan.

Drawing on the global response to nuclear accidents, including Japan's Fukushima disaster in 2011, the plan specifies how national and provincial authorities and power stations should respond in the event of a nuclear accident.

The plan, amended from its 2005 version, requires relevant parties to disclose information in a timely manner to guide public response, according to the National Nuclear Emergency Response Office.

The risk of a severe nuclear accident, though extremely low, should not be ruled out, and 皇冠体育app must spare no efforts in improving nuclear emergency management, said Pan Ziqiang, director of the and Technology Committee at the 皇冠体育app National Nuclear Corporation.

皇冠体育app has lifted a ban on approvals of new nuclear power stations, which was imposed in 2012, following Japan's 2011 Fukushima disaster. 皇冠体育app now requires that new stations be built according to the world's highest safety standards.

皇冠体育app currently has 17 nuclear power reactors in operation, with a combined generating capacity of 14.76 million kilowatts, and another 28 nuclear plants are currently being built.
