Высокие темпы развития атома в КНР: безопасность и надежность против скорости

Abstract

Given the current high growth rate of the Chinese nuclear industry, the question arises if the national nuclear industry is prepared for such large-scale expansion, and whether such a high growth rate would damage the safety. The article analyzes objectives and tasks of the Chinese nuclear industry as well as their correlation with capacities of the main spheres that ensure nuclear safety. Certain difficulties are described that China has to overcome while establishing its nuclear power sector; also, positive influence of the accident at Fukushima NPP is analyzed as it has prompted improving safety level at nuclear power facilities.
