Nuclear Power Safety and Governance in East Asia

Confronting the challenges of nuclear power governance, this book provides pathways to nuclear safety cooperation between countries in East Asia where regional cooperation is challenged by geopolitical tensions. The book is split into three parts: first looking at nuclear risk and safety communications, second on nuclear policy and harmonization of safety standards, and third a comparative analysis of nuclear regulatory agencies in East Asia. Taken as a whole, the contributors recommend the establishment of a nuclear safety system that allows for mutual verification of safety standards at the regional level, as well as a regulatory framework with international credibility which will help standardize risk communication. They suggest that the exchange of experiences involving nuclear power plant safety, efforts towards common safety standards, safety management and collaborative efforts between Japan, China, and South Korea are extremely urgent issues. By comparing the European system of nuclear governance with that of East Asia, the book highlights the need for nuclear safety organizations in East Asia to strengthen interconnections and build regional linkages. This book will be of interest to policymakers, academics as well as researchers in the field of energy policy, energy economics, nuclear safety, nuclear governance and nuclear engineering.
