The relevant standards for nuclear technology are a broad and complex field that covers various aspects of nuclear energy development and utilization, including equipment, systems, behavior, and related technical indicators and specifications.

1、 Nuclear safety standards

Nuclear safety standards are one of the most critical standards in the utilization of nuclear technology. They refer to the technical indicators and norms that specific nuclear energy development and utilization behaviors, equipment, systems, etc. should meet. Nuclear safety standards are an important component of the nuclear safety regulations and standards system, and are an important means and technical support for the implementation of nuclear safety laws and regulations.
Characteristics: Nuclear safety standards are mandatory standards, and their formulation principles are strict from high to high, ensuring absolute safety and foolproof nuclear safety work.
Formulation and Revision: Relevant departments of the State Council shall formulate nuclear safety standards according to their respective responsibilities and make timely revisions in accordance with economic and social development and technological progress.
Content: Nuclear safety standards include specialized nuclear safety standards and relevant technical standards related to nuclear safety and those that have an impact on nuclear safety, such as standards for radioactive pollution prevention and control, transportation of radioactive materials, nuclear safety technology, and nuclear safety equipment.

2、 Standards for the Construction of Nuclear Medicine Discipline

In the field of nuclear medicine, a series of relevant standards have also been established to ensure the safe application of nuclear technology.
Centralized departments: Currently, there are three main centralized departments involved in the construction standards of nuclear medicine disciplines, namely the Ministry of Housing and Urban Rural Development, the National Health Commission, and the Ministry of Environmental Protection.

Main standards:
The Ministry of Housing and Urban Rural Development has issued the "Comprehensive Hospital Construction Standards" and "Comprehensive Hospital Building Design Specifications", which put forward specific requirements for the architectural design and construction of hospitals to ensure the safety and compliance of nuclear medical facilities.
The Health Commission has issued the "Radiation Protection Requirements for Nuclear Medicine" GBZ 120-2020, which provides detailed requirements for radiation protection in nuclear medicine work, including the provision of protective equipment, the use of radioactive drugs, and the disposal of radioactive waste.
The Ministry of Ecology and Environment has issued the "Radiation Protection and Safety Requirements for Nuclear Medicine" HJ 1188-2021, which puts forward specific technical requirements and management regulations for radiation protection and safety in nuclear medicine.

3、 Standards in the field of nuclear fusion

In the field of nuclear fusion, China has also made important breakthroughs and released the first international standard in the field of nuclear fusion, "Reactor Technology - Thermal Helium Leakage Detection Method for High Temperature Pressure Components of Nuclear Fusion Reactors" (ISO4233:2023).
Meaning: The release of this standard fills the standard gap in the field of ISO nuclear fusion. It is not only a historic breakthrough for China's nuclear fusion standard to go global, but also a breakthrough for international nuclear fusion standard zero.
Content: This standard proposes technical requirements for the thermal helium leak detection method for the vacuum sealing of high-temperature pressure components in nuclear fusion devices, which is a key link to ensure the safe and stable operation of fusion reactors.

4、 Other relevant standards

In addition to the above standards, the field of nuclear technology also involves many other related standards, such as standards for the design, construction, operation, and retirement of nuclear power plants, standards for the nuclear fuel cycle, and standards for nuclear emergency preparedness and response. These standards together constitute the safety assurance system for the utilization of nuclear technology.

The relevant standards for nuclear technology are a vast and complex system, covering various aspects from nuclear energy development and utilization to nuclear medicine applications, nuclear fusion research, and so on. The formulation and implementation of these standards are of great significance for ensuring the safe application of nuclear technology, protecting public health and environmental safety. With the continuous progress of technology and the development of the economy and society, nuclear technology related standards will also be continuously improved and updated to meet new needs and challenges.
