at a nuclear power plant, the on-site emergency organization should promptly
report the accident situation to the higher competent authority of the nuclear
power plant and the national nuclear safety authority of the State Conucil and
determine whether to report it to the department assigned by the provincial
people's government according to the situation. In case of situation, where

or "Site Emergency" shall be declared timely, depending on the situation, and
the on-site emergency organization should promptly report the accident
situation to the higher competent authority of the nuclear power plant, the
nuclear safety authority of the State Council and the department assigned by
the provincial people's government. If the release of radioactive materials
may or has extended beyond he site boundary, the on-site emergency
organization should recommend timely the department assigned by the provincial
people's government to declare "off-site emergency", and take appropriate
protective measures.
emergency organization of the nuclear power plant, the department assigned by
the provincial people's government should promptly take appropriate emergency
countermeasures and emergency protective measures and report it to the
department assigned by the State Conucil in time. Declaration of "Off-site
Emergency" should be approved by the department assigned by the State Council.

assigned by the State Council in co-operation with other related departments.
The percentage of fund to be borne by the nuclear power plant for off-site
emergency is determined according to its capacity before operation and to its
actual electricity generation after operation. These funds should be used for
off-site nuclear accident emergency preparedness after overall balance by
