A law aimed at promoting the development of atomic energy and ensuring its safe use was adopted on Sept. 11 by the China’s Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress, China’s top legislature, as it closed its latest session.
The new law lays out a framework for the development and safety of a nuclear regime. “The new law will contribute to building a comprehensive and well-structured legal and regulatory framework for atomic energy, further enhancing the modernization of the energy governance system and governance capability,” the statement says.
