Northeast Regional Office of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment Conducts Research on Radiation Risk Prevention and Control in the Scrap Metal Recycling and Smelting Industry

To strengthen radiation risk prevention and control across the entire chain of the scrap metal recycling and smelting industry and guide young cadres to conduct research and tackle challenges at the grassroots level, the Northeast Regional Office of Nuclear and Radiation Safety Supervision of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment (hereinafter referred to as the Northeast Regional Office) recently conducted special research at scrap metal resource recycling and steel smelting enterprises as well as customs ports. This research comprehensively mapped out the sources of scrap metal recycling, supply destinations, and the current status of radioactive monitoring management in the processing and sorting stages; focused on verifying the effectiveness of radiation monitoring requirements implementation at steel smelting enterprises, and meticulously examined the monitoring point deployment and control measures at key stages such as raw material entry, production process connection, and product shipment; further clarified the import and export radioactive monitoring management procedures, coordination and linkage working mechanisms, and the response and handling of abnormal events; and conducted in-depth exchanges and discussions with relevant units on some issues identified during the research.

Northeast Regional Office of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment Conducts Construction Quality Dialogue for Xudabao Nuclear Power Plant

Recently, the Northeast Regional Office of Nuclear and Radiation Safety Supervision of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment (hereinafter referred to as the Northeast Office) held a construction quality dialogue with CNNC Liaoning Nuclear Power Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as the Operating Unit) for the Xudabao Nuclear Power Plant, aiming to promote the implementation of nuclear safety responsibilities and ensure the effective operation of the quality assurance system. China National Nuclear Power Co., Ltd. and relevant construction participating units attended the event. The dialogue reviewed the Operating Unit's presentation on quality issues related to nuclear safety-related structures, systems, equipment, and design, systematically identified management shortcomings, analyzed root causes, and developed improvement measures. The Northeast Office pointed out that construction quality issues reflect that various units still have inadequacies in fulfilling nuclear safety responsibilities and quality assurance responsibilities, with insufficiently effective transmission of responsibility pressure. All units must deeply recognize that the Xudabao Nuclear Power Plant is at a critical stage with two reactor types and four units under simultaneous construction, where civil construction, installation, and commissioning tasks overlap, marking a high-risk period for construction quality. The primary nuclear safety responsibility of the Operating Unit must be firmly consolidated, and the corresponding nuclear safety responsibilities of all units must be reinforced.
