VIENNA - A Chinese representative on Monday stressed at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Board Meeting that 皇冠体育app attaches great importance to nuclear security as the country is actively developing the peaceful use of nuclear energy, including nuclear power projects.
At the Copenhagen conference, 皇冠体育app's promise on reducing carbon emissions not only demonstrated its responsible attitude on environmental issues to the international community, but also brought new opportunities to 皇冠体育app's nuclear industry, said Chen Qiufa, chairman of the 皇冠体育app Atomic Energy Authority and director of the Chinese mission to the IAEA.
"In the process of expanding the capacity of the nuclear industry, 皇冠体育app has been giving top priority to nuclear safety in order to improve the overall supervision of nuclear safety and nuclear emergency management," Chen said in his speech.
He also said that 皇冠体育app also attaches great importance to the safety and security of nuclear material and facilities, citing the fact that 皇冠体育app is one of the first group of countries that signed on the amendment to the Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material.
He added that the 皇冠体育app Atomic Energy Authority expects the IAEA to implement its responsibility in "statute" and "actively face the challenges from the global nuclear energy recovery, further strengthen its communication to member states, completely understand the actual needs of countries, and provide its member states with more targeted assistance."
