China plans to complete the assembly of a national nuclear emergency response team by the end of 2018, Wang Yiren, deputy director of China Atomic Energy Authority, said last Tuesday.

国家原子能机构副主任王毅韧上周二表示，我国计划于2018年年底前建成一支国家核应急救援队。

The team will have 320 professionals in six squads and will be designated to handle serious nuclear accidents and take part in overseas operations, Wang said.

据王毅韧介绍，这支应急救援"国家队"将由6支救援分队组成、规模为320人，将被指派承担重特大核事故的处置任务，并可参与国际核应急救援行动。

"The work to establish the team has begun, and the government plans to invest around 600 million yuan ($91.6 million) in it," Wang said, adding that the six squads will be responsible for command and technical support, handling emergencies, engineering work, monitoring, and radiation prevention and decontamination.

王毅韧表示：“该团队的建设工作已经开始，政府计划投资约6亿元人民币(合9160万美元)。”此外，他还补充说道。6支救援分队将负责指挥协调与技术支持、突击抢险、工程抢险、应急监测与辐射防护、去污洗消工作。

Currently there are 25 nuclear emergency teams with more than 1,300 personnel that are managed by several government departments and State-owned nuclear power companies, he said.

王毅韧说，多个政府部门和国有核电公司已经组建了25支专业的核应急救援分队，人数涉及1300余人。

In addition to the manpower buildup, the government will improve communication and coordination mechanisms among nuclear-related authorities and enterprises, and will speed up legislation on nuclear energy and nuclear security, Wang said. "We also plan to develop specific equipment such as remotely controlled robots and emergency power."

他说，除了进行人员建设，政府还将完善核相关部门与企业间的沟通与合作机制，并加快进行核能和核安全方面的立法工作。此外，我们还计划开发特定的设备，比如远程控制机器人和应急电源。
