Recently, MEE Deputy Minister and NNSA Director Liu Hua, Shenzhen Vice Mayor Huang Min and accompanying staff inspected at MEE/SCRO and visited all staff and workers thereof.
Liu Hua put forward four requirements for MEE/SCRO. The first is to pay great attention to nuclear and radiation safety. Nuclear safety is an important component of national security, and ensuring nuclear safety is the largest politic task. Guangdong province is a large province where a large number of NPPs are located, facing major nuclear regulatory mission. All of staff in MEE/SCRO should improve political standing to dedicate the concerted efforts to their job duty, with a combination of high sense of identity, honor and responsibility. The second is to forge a nuclear safety regulatory force as strong as iron. It should be significant to focus on team building. Since staff often take business trips, it is imperative to set strict demands on themselves and always strive to work with positive energy. A pipeline of trained staff working at the grass root levels should be broadened in order to foster more talents and to create a leading team who has a wish, a capability and a result to achieve the established goals. The third is to focus on approaches towards public communication. It should form the mechanism of innovative nuclear safety dissemination and science knowledge popularization, and to strengthen communication with the local government in a comprehensive way. The fourth is to address the current faced difficulties, focusing concerted efforts on building of MEE/SCRO in Shenzhen. Infrastructure capability building should be carried out with the assistance from Shenzhen city and nuclear power development departments concerned.
Vice Mayor Huang Min expressed that nuclear power is an important clean energy and the nuclear and radiation safety is important matter concerning people's livelihoods, of which therefore the importance cannot be overemphasized for Shenzhen's development and stability. Since MEE/SCRO shoulders these responsibilities, it should be the first priority for MEE/SCRO to perform the regulation duties and to protect nuclear and radiation safety.
The attendees included the relevant staff and personnel from MEE Monitoring Department, Monitoring Center, MEE South China Inspection Bureau, Guangdong Ecological and Environmental Agency, Shenzhen Habitat Environment Committee, and all the staff of MEE/SCRO.
