Abstract
Nuclear safety is a key component of the national security system, and it is the foundation and lifeline of the nuclear industry. Advanced and reliable nuclear safety technology is crucial for maintaining and improving intrinsic safety. Therefore, conducting strategic research on nuclear safety technologies is important for enhancing the nuclear industry in China. In this article, we conduct an in-depth research on China’s nuclear safety technology system using methods including academician interviews, field surveys, conference discussion, and literature review. The results show that, guiding by the overall national security and the nuclear safety concepts, China’s nuclear safety technology has made significant progress in recent years and its nuclear safety performance is good. However, China’s nuclear safety technology system still face several bottleneck problems. For example, the nuclear safety standards system needs improvement, the overall planning of nuclear safety software research and development is insufficient, and the precision and advanced nuclear safety equipment still depends on foreign countries. To continuously modernize the nuclear safety governance system and governance capacities and strengthen China’s nuclear industry, several suggestions are proposed. First, the nuclear safety standards system should be further improved. Second, independent nuclear safety software with high quality should be promoted by coordinating scientific research resources to tackle key problems. Third, government, industry, university, research, and application need to be coordinated to research and develop high-end nuclear safety equipment.
