China has successfully held its first comprehensive nuclear security emergency drill as the country embarks on a major expansion of nuclear power, a civilian ministry has said.
Code-named as "Fengbao-2016," the drill was held to test and improve China's security-incident response mechanism, the State Administration of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defence said yesterday.
The drill, which was neither scripted nor had a preplanned result, tested the effectiveness of the nuclear security system, the administration said.
The drill was presided over by Wang Yiren, vice director of the State Administration of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, and vice-chairman of the China Atomic Energy Authority.
