Zhang Tingke, vice chairman and secretary general of the China Nuclear Energy Association (CNEA), led a delegation to attend. During the meeting, he pointed out that China’s nuclear power industry will still face the dual challenges of safety and economy in the future. Through artificial intelligence, modularization and standardization efforts, it can effectively improve the competitiveness of nuclear power and at the same time increase the public’s acceptance to nuclear.

Before the meeting, Chinese representatives also exchanged views with Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) and KOPEC and visited ATLAS facilities, in order to have a general idea of  the development of Korean nuclear power industries.

 

* The East Asia Nuclear Forum serves as a private forum to promote effective exchanges through the establishment of a private network of cooperation between nuclear industry associations in Chinese mainland, Japan, South Korea and Chinese Taiwan district, thereby enhancing the peaceful use and safety of nuclear energy in East Asia.
