Abstract:

Since the nuclear disaster at Fukushima, the global nuclear circle has started a new round of reflection on atomic energy. And in the international community, there appear two different views of "denuclearization" and "nuclearpreserving". While the former is represented by Germany, the latter is characterized by France and the United States. In view of China' s actualities of energy structure—depending heavily on traditional fossil energy and the proportion of nuclear power being low—it should not change its direction of developing nuclear power so as to guarantee energy safety, combat global warming and cleanse energy. At the same time, based on the comparison and analysis of the legislation of atomic energy between the United States, France and Japan, and in order to ensure the healthy development of nuclear energy industry, China should take environmental protection as priority, put safety first and lay equal stress on economics and marketization in its orientation of drafting of Atomic Energy Law. After that, it should go further to improve regulatory system for nuclear energy and establish insurance system for nuclear pollution.
