Outline
In order to respond to the rapidly increasing demand for electricity, some emerging countries in East Asia intend to introduce nuclear power generation in the future. If any significant accident were to occur at a nuclear power plant, it would affect the country and neighbouring East Asian countries and raise concerns over nuclear safety and radioactive hazards.
This study targets emerging countries in East Asia that plan to introduce or expand nuclear power generation or consider the possibility thereof, and compares the present situations in these countries with regard to safety regulation and nuclear security systems in order to identify problems in establishing an information sharing system for accidents and in considering desirable cross-border cooperation. Through these efforts, we aim to achieve the 3Ss - enhancement of nuclear Safety standards and nuclear Security and establishment of nuclear non-proliferation Safeguards - in East Asia, and thereby contribute to promoting utilization of nuclear energy on a scale appropriate to the increase in energy demand in this region.
