The State Council passed the 12th Five-Year Nuclear Power Construction Plan

On the 24th, Premier Wen Jiabao presided over the executive meeting of the State Council to discuss the adoption of the “12th Five-Year Plan for Energy Development” and re-discussed and passed “Nuclear Power Safety Planning (2011-2020)” and “Long-Term Nuclear Power Development Plan (2011). -2020).

The “Twelfth Five-Year Plan for Energy Development” passed at the meeting proposed that in the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period, we must speed up the transformation of energy production and utilization methods, strengthen the energy conservation priority strategy, comprehensively improve the efficiency of energy development, transformation and utilization, and reasonably control energy consumption. Total amount, build a safe, stable, economic, and clean modern energy industry system. The key tasks are: (1) Strengthen the exploration and development of domestic resources. Safe and efficient development of coal and conventional oil and gas resources, strengthening shale gas and coalbed methane exploration and development, and actively and orderly development of hydropower and wind energy, solar energy and other renewable energy sources. (b) Promote the efficient and clean transformation of energy sources. Efficiently clean and develop coal power, promote coal washing and deep processing, intensively develop the refining industry, and develop natural gas power in an orderly manner. (C) to promote the transformation of energy supply. We will vigorously develop distributed energy, promote the construction of smart grids, and strengthen the construction of new energy vehicle energy supply facilities. (4) Accelerate the construction of energy storage and transportation facilities and upgrade reserve emergency support capabilities. (5) Implement energy livelihood projects and promote the equalization of urban and rural energy basic public services. (6) Reasonable control of total energy consumption. Comprehensively promote energy efficiency, strengthen energy management. (7) Advance reforms in key areas such as electricity, coal, oil and natural gas, rationalize the mechanism for energy price formation, and encourage private capital to enter the energy sector. Promote technological progress and improve the level of scientific and technological equipment. Deepen international cooperation and maintain energy security.

The meeting discussed the adoption of "Nuclear Power Safety Plan" and "Nuclear Power Mid-Long Term Development Plan". The meeting pointed out that since March last year, on the basis of carrying out comprehensive safety inspections of nuclear power units in operation and under construction, the State Council has discussed the two plans twice and treated nuclear power safety and development very seriously.

The meeting will deploy nuclear power construction for the current and future periods: (1) Safely restore normal construction. We must reasonably grasp the pace of construction and steadily advance in an orderly manner. (b) Scientific layout projects. During the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period, only a few well-argued nuclear power project sites were arranged along the coast, and no inland nuclear power projects were arranged. (c) Improve access thresholds. Build new nuclear power projects in accordance with the world's highest safety requirements. Newly built nuclear power units must meet three generation safety standards.

The meeting emphasized that safety is the lifeline of nuclear power. In order to develop nuclear power, we must, in accordance with the overall requirements for ensuring environmental safety, public health and social harmony, implement the safety-first approach to the entire process of nuclear power planning, construction, operation, and decommissioning and all related industries. It is necessary to use the most advanced and mature technologies to continuously carry out the safety renovation of nuclear power units under construction in service, and continuously improve the safety performance of existing nuclear power units in China. Comprehensively strengthen the safety management of nuclear power. We will increase the research and development of nuclear safety technology and equipment, accelerate the construction of nuclear power safety standards and regulations, and improve the emergency management and response capabilities of nuclear accidents. Strengthen nuclear safety and social supervision and supervision. Actively carry out international cooperation.

The meeting reviewed and approved the "Regulations on Agricultural Insurance (draft)." The meeting held that in order to diversify and transfer agricultural risks, raise the ability of agriculture to resist risks, and protect the interests of farmers, it is necessary to formulate agricultural insurance regulations. The bill clarifies the principals and operating rules of the agricultural insurance business and stipulates that the state will adopt measures such as insurance subsidies and tax incentives to support the development of agricultural insurance.
