VI. Nuclear Emergency Preparedness Exercises,Drills, Training and Public Communication

　　核应急演习演练、培训与公众沟通

　　China attaches great importance to nuclearemergency preparedness exercises, drills, trainingand public communication, and continuous effortshave been made to enhance the capabilities ofnuclear emergency preparedness organizations atvarious levels to cope with nuclear accidents,popularize knowledge of nuclear safety andemergency preparedness, create an environment conducive to facilitating nuclear energydevelopment and build society-wide confidence in the country's nuclear energy sector.

　　中国高度重视核应急演习演练，切实加强专业培训，注重公众沟通，不断提高各级核应急组织应对处置严重核事故的能力水平，普及社会公众核安全应急知识，营造促进核能发展良好环境，树立全社会对发展核能事业信心。

　　Organizing nuclear emergency preparedness exercises. The policies and principles, organization,formats, classifications, frequency, safeguard preparation and implementation proceduresfor China's nuclear emergency preparedness have been clearly defined in such documents asRegulations on Emergency Measures for Nuclear Accidents at Nuclear Power Plants, ContingencyMeasures for Unexpected Events, Guideline on Emergency Exercises for Unexpected Events andRegulations on Nuclear Emergency Preparedness Exercises. To cater to the needs of nuclearenergy development, national-level nuclear emergency preparedness joint exercises shall beconducted on a regular basis; provincial-level on-site and off-site joint exercises for nuclearemergency preparedness shall be conducted once every two to four years by the relevantprovinces (autonomous regions or centrally administered municipalities); operators of nuclearinstallations shall conduct comprehensive exercises once every two years and specialexercises for different purposes every year, with higher frequency for those which have threeor more generating units. Prior to the initial fuel loading, an on-site and off-site joint exerciseshall be organized by the provincial-level nuclear emergency management organizationwhere the relevant nuclear power plant is located. National-level nuclear emergency jointexercises with the code names "Shendun-2009" and "Shendun-2015" have been conducted andobserved by officials and experts from Japan, ROK, France, Pakistan and the IAEA, involving theparticipation of about 6,000 persons on the two occasions.

　　组织实施核应急演习。发布《核电厂核事故应急管理条例》《突发事件应急预案管理办法》《突发事件应急演练指南》《核应急演习管理规定》等规章，明确规定国家核应急演习方针原则、组织机构、内容形式、分类频次、保障准备、实施程序等。适应核能发展需要，定期举行全国性核应急联合演习;相关省(区、市)每2年至4年举行一次本级场内场外核应急联合演习;核设施营运单位每2年组织一次综合演习，每年组织多种专项演习，拥有3台以上运行机组的演习频度适当增加;核电站首次装投料前，所在地省级核应急管理机构组织场内场外联合演习。近年来，先后组织代号为"神盾—2009""神盾—2015"的国家核应急联合演习，参演规模近6000人，日本、韩国、法国、巴基斯坦、国际原子能机构等派出官员、专家观摩。

　　Establishing a three-level nuclear emergency preparedness training system. The state nuclearemergency preparedness management organization shall be in charge of training for nation-wide nuclear emergency preparedness management personnel; nuclear emergencypreparedness management organizations at the provincial (regional and municipal) level shallbe in charge of training for nuclear emergency preparedness personnel within their respectivejurisdictions; operators of nuclear installations shall be in charge of providing professionalskills training for their own staff in the field of nuclear emergency preparedness. Since theFukushima accident, China has organized more than 110 training sessions for different levelsof nuclear emergency preparedness organizations, attended by a total of 10,000 people. China'snuclear emergency preparedness management personnel and technical professionals have allattended nuclear emergency preparedness trainings of different levels and disciplines.

　　建立三级核应急培训制度。国家核应急管理机构负责全国核应急管理人员培训，省(区、市)核应急管理机构负责本行政区域内核应急人员培训，核设施营运单位负责本单位核应急工作人员专业技术培训。福岛核事故以来，中国各级举办培训班110多期，培训近万人次。目前，中国核应急管理人员、专业技术人员均参加过不同级别、专业的培训。

　　Reinforcing public communication and information disclosure about nuclear emergencypreparedness. China attaches great importance to public communication and informationdisclosure regarding nuclear emergency preparedness by developing relevant regulations onthe principles of transparency, objectivity, trustworthiness and scientific accuracy. Eachlevel of nuclear emergency preparedness organization has established a special nuclearemergency preparedness publicity team to publicize national policies on nuclear energy,nuclear safety and nuclear emergency preparedness to the public and to enhancetransparency of nuclear energy development to ensure the public's right to supervise nuclearsafety and access to information on nuclear emergency preparedness and response. Since2013 a number of nationwide nuclear emergency preparedness publicity activities with thetheme "Joining Efforts to Establish Defense on Nuclear Emergency and for Nuclear Safety, andto Foster the Scientific Development of Nuclear EnergySector" have been held, arousingextensive attention both at home and abroad. In January 2015 publicity activities targetingdomestic and foreign audiences were successively conducted by nuclear-relatedorganizations to mark the 60th anniversary of the launch of China's nuclear industry. InDecember 2015 the domestic and foreign media were invited to visit Chinese nuclear powerenterprises for the well-received campaign "Boosting Nuclear Energy Development for the OneBelt and One Road Initiative," showcasing to Chinese audience the advanced nature of China'snuclear power technology, the safety and reliability of nuclear power, standardization ofnuclear power management and adequacy of nuclear emergency preparedness, producingpositive social repercussions. Nuclear-related enterprises, universities and colleges, andrelevant organizations have conducted a variety of publicity activities in relation to thepopularization of nuclear-related scientific knowledge in a bid to foster an atmosphereconducive to the safe and efficient development of nuclear energy.

　　加强核应急公众沟通与信息发布。中国高度重视核应急公众沟通和信息发布，制定相关规定，明确公开透明、客观真实、权威可信、科学通俗的工作原则。各级核应急组织建立专门的核应急宣传队伍，适时向全社会宣传国家核能政策、核安全政策、核应急政策，增加核能发展透明度，确保公众享有核安全监督权、核应急准备与响应知情权。2013年以来，以"共筑核应急核安全防线、共促核能事业科学发展"为主题，多次组织全国范围核应急宣传活动，国内外受众面达到10亿人次。2015年1月，利用中国核工业创建60周年契机，开展一系列面向国内外的宣传活动。2015年12月，组织媒体走进中国核电企业，开展"助推核能发展、助力‘一带一路'"采访活动，向国内外集中展示中国核电技术先进性、核电安全可靠性、核电管理规范性、核应急准备充分性，产生了积极社会反响。各涉核企业、大专院校和有关团体还以各种形式开展涉核科普宣传活动，努力营造安全高效发展核能的良好氛围。

　　As the Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions (SAR) are adjacent to GuangdongProvince, the public in Hong Kong and Macao pay close attention to the nuclear energydevelopment in China's mainland. Since 1992 Guangdong Province and the Hong Kong SARhave reached consensus on a number of issues in relation to nuclear emergency preparednessassociated with the Daya Bay and Ling Ao nuclear power plants in Guangdong. The statenuclear emergency management organ has, on more than one occasion, organized promotionalactivities in conjunction with Guangdong Province and the Hong Kong SAR to further enrichthe contents of their collaborative mechanism on nuclear emergency preparedness, refinethe communication platform for nuclear emergency preparedness between Guangdong andHong Kong, and respond to public concerns in a timely manner to allay any misgivings. Therelevant departments of the central government have held special training sessions focusing onvarious disciplines in conjunction with the departments concerned of Hong Kong and MacaoSAR governments with a view to raising the professional level of the local public, thereforecontributing positively to maintaining the prosperity and stability of both Hong Kong andMacao.

　　香港特别行政区、澳门特别行政区毗邻广东省，特区公众和舆论关注内地核能发展。1992年以来，粤港双方针对广东大亚湾和岭澳核电站核应急事宜达成多项共识。国家核应急管理机构多次与广东省、香港特别行政区政府组织宣介会，不断充实粤港核应急合作机制内容，完善粤港核应急交流平台，及时回应公众关切，消除疑虑。中央政府有关部门还有针对性地与港澳地区相关部门联合开展各领域专业培训，提高当地人员专业水平，为保持香港、澳门繁荣稳定作出积极贡献。

　　As the safe use of nuclear energy is a major issue bearing on the safety of both life andproperty of people across the Taiwan Straits, both sides of the Straits lay great store by it. InOctober 2011 the Association for Relations across the Taiwan Straits and Straits ExchangeFoundation signed the Cross-straits Nuclear Power Safety Cooperation Agreement. Under theframework of this agreement, a communication mechanism has been put in place betweenthe two sides across the Straits on nuclear emergency matters, and positive achievements havereaped in expanded exchange and cooperation in such areas as regulations and standardsconcerning nuclear power safety, emergency reporting on nuclear power plant accidents,environmental radiation monitoring for nuclear power plants, and emergency response andpreparations for nuclear power plant accidents.

　　核能安全利用是关系台湾海峡两岸人民生命财产安全的大事，两岸双方对此高度重视。2011年10月，海协会与台湾海基会签署《海峡两岸核电安全合作协议》。在该协议框架下，两岸建立核应急事务联系机制，在核电安全法规与标准、核电厂事故紧急通报、核电厂环境辐射监测、核电厂事故紧急应变及准备等领域不断拓展交流与合作，取得积极成效。
