Management of registration nuclear safety engineer of China

At present, there are altogether 10 nuclear power units in operation in China. In the following decade, China will build about thirty 1,000 MW units to reach an installed capacity of 40,000 MW in 2020; meanwhile, we will also witness great development in the areas of radiation protection, radiation monitoring and nuclear technology application. Thus, the problem of shortage of qualified nuclear safety personnel has arisen. Nuclear safety is closely related to the vital interests of the public and environmental safety; and in range with pollution control and ecological environment protection, nuclear safety has become one of the three key work fields in the environmental protection system in China. In such circumstances, China began in 2003 to implement registered nuclear safety engineer qualification system. By the end of 2006, three examinations had been successfully launched and a total of 395 people have obtained registered nuclear safety engineer qualification
