Research on the standardization strategy of China's nuclear industry

Abstract

This paper introduced a standardization strategy of China's nuclear industry based on a jointed consulting research and tried to find out the current issues and unsolved problems of standardization in China's nuclear industry. Standardization plays an important role in supporting industrial development and promoting scientific and technological progress. As a high-tech industry and a cornerstone of national security, China's nuclear industry has to be faced the new challenge and met the actual demand in the new era. Under the circumstance, standardization is expected to accelerate the safe and innovative development, to guarantee the peaceful use of nuclear energy, to comprehensively enhance the core competitiveness and lead high-quality development of the nuclear industry. Via focusing on restrictive factors, the current research presented a main output mode of standardization work, and proposed the implementation paths and specific suggestions for the standardization strategy of China's nuclear industry. At last, the policy recommendations were concluded as (1) establishing a synchronous implementation mechanism for major scientific research or engineering projects and standard development; (2) improving the integration of independent standard system with the nuclear safety regulation system; (3) encouraging and supporting preponderant association/society in nuclear industry to enact corresponding group standards.
