Development of China’s Nuclear Power Standard System and Brief Comparison With American and French Standards

Abstract

China’s nuclear power standards have generally experienced three stages: starting, moderate development and rapid development. Up to now, a PWR nuclear power standard system with clear hierarchy, complete and reasonable structure and meeting the needs of the industry has been basically formed. This paper analyzes the conception, planning principles, main scope and objects, hierarchical structure, project setting and evolution process of China’s nuclear power standard system. Finally, it briefly analyzes the characteristics and current situation of nuclear power standards in the United States and France, and expounds the differences in standardization mechanism and standard technology between the two countries and China.
