China Conducts Successful Nuclear Security Exercise at Fuqing Power Base
China recently carried out a successful nuclear security exercise at the Fuqing nuclear power base in the country’s eastern Fujian Province. The exercise, named “Storm-2025,” was organized by the China Atomic Energy Authority (CAEA) in collaboration with the Ministry of Public Security and several other government departments.
Participants in the exercise included the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the National Energy Administration, and local officials from the Fujian government. This was the sixth edition of a biennial exercise aimed at testing the emergency response capabilities of China’s nuclear facilities in extreme scenarios.
The simulation involved intrusions and attacks under different circumstances to ensure that operators of nuclear facilities are well-prepared to handle such emergencies. The drill demonstrated China’s dedication to maintaining a balance between the safety and development of its nuclear industry, according to the CAEA.
The exercise not only verified the emergency response capabilities of China’s nuclear facilities but also aimed to improve risk awareness among operators. It reaffirmed China’s commitment to upholding the highest standards of nuclear safety and security in the country.
