| Summary/Abstract |
Nuclear energy plays an important role in the energy sector in the world. It has achieved a rapid development during the past six decades and contributes to over 11% of the world's electricity supply. On the other side, nuclear accidents have triggered substantial debates with a growing public concern on nuclear facilities. Followed by the Fukushima nuclear accident, some developed countries decided to shut down the existing nuclear power plants or to abandon plans to build new ones. Given this background, accelerating the development of nuclear power on the basis of safety in China will make it a bellwether for other countries. China assigns the top priority to the nuclear safety in nuclear energy development and has maintained a good record in this field. The policy and institutional system provide the necessary guarantee for the nuclear energy development and safety management. Furthermore, China's approach to nuclear safety provides a benchmark for the safe development and utilization of nuclear power. This research draws an overall picture of the nuclear energy development and nuclear safety in China from the policy and institutional perspective.

| Summary/Abstract |
China's economy has risen to the second place since 2010, accompanied by the largest energy consumption in the world. As one of the major air pollutants from the fossil fuel, excessive SO2 emissions have severe negative impacts on eco-environments. In order to achieve the balance between economic growth and environmental protection, many efforts have been made on the reduction of SO2. The route map for the reduction of SO2 in China includes policy setting, economic and energy structure adjustment, and the construction of desulphurization facilities. These initiatives and efforts together had resulted in the significant reduction of SO2 emissions along with fast economic development. This study provides a useful reference for other developing countries in coping SO2 control. The findings also provide implications for reducing the other two air pollutants with binding control targets in the Twelfth Five-Year Plan period in China, i.e. NOx and CO2.
