Abstract

The article focuses on the nuclear safety in China as of July 2013 following the aftermath of the nuclear accident at Fukushima, Japan in 2011. Due to this nuclear accident, several countries including Germany, Switzerland and Italy abandoned their plans to extend their nuclear capacity but China is among the countries that will continue to build nuclear plants. The author states that China should exploit all usable possibilities to meet their growing electricity demand. As of the said date, there are eight East Asian countries, including Malaysia, South and North Korea and Thailand, who are having plans for civil nuclear energy.
