Abstract

The nuclear safety legal system is an essential instrument to ensure the safe development of nuclear energy. The international requirements and recommendations for the construction of nuclear safety legal systems can be mainly summarized to eight systems. Many countries have complied with these recommendations and requirements, and have constructed those systems through enacting laws, while Chinas construction of nuclear safety legal systems has many deficiencies. This situation needs to be improved. For this purpose, we suggest that (i) it is necessary and urgent to construct and improve our nuclear safety legal systems by legislation; (ii) the legislation should be diversified; and (iii) the nuclear safety law should provide the nuclear safety regulatory system, the licensing system of nuclear safety, the radiation protection system and the license holders safety responsibility system, and take into consideration the nuclear emergency preparedness and response system and the nuclear safety information disclosure system.
