Next, I would like to talk
talk about the objectives and
direction of our nation's nuclear safety. Ours is
is a socialist
state. In developing nuclear power
power to benefit the people, our
Government must first ensure the safety of the people.
Therefore, while the Government has laid down.
down the direction "to
actively and appropriately develop nuclear power", it has, at the
same time,
specified the principle that "nuclear power
and quality as top
design,
installations must insist on safety
priority". То be more specific, it implies upholding the principle of "safety being the top priority" throughout the
siting,
construction, testing, operation and
decommissioning of nuclear installations, and insisting that
there must be sufficient measures to guarantee quality and safe operation, to prevent nuclear accidents and to limit the harmful effects that might
might arise, SO as to safeguard working staff,
members of the public and the environment from being exposed to
irradiation and pollution above the nation's permitted level.
Effort will also be made to reduce irradiation and pollution to a
reasonably low level.
