加强核安全是一个持续进程。核能事业发展不停步,加强核安全的努力就不能停止。首先,发展和安全并重,以确保安全为前提发展核能事业。作为保障能源安全和应对气候变化的重要途役,和平利用核能事业,如同普罗米修斯(Prometheus)带到人间的火种,为人类发展点燃了希望之火,拓展了美好前景。同时,如果不能有效保障核能安全,不能妥善应对核材料和核设施的潜在安全风险,就会给这一美好前景蒙上阴影,甚至带来灾难。要使核能事业发展的希望之火永不熄灭,就必须牢牢坚持安全第一原则。我们要秉持为发展求安全、以安全促发展的理念,让发展和安全两个目标有机融合,使各国政府和核能企业认识到,任何以牺牲安全为代价的核能发展都难以持续,都不是真正的发展。只有来取切实举措,才能真正管控风险;只有实现安全保障,核能才能持续发展。
Enhancing nuclear security is a never-ending process. As long as we continue to tap nuclear energy, we shall not stop our efforts to enhance nuclear security. First, we should place equal emphasis on development and security, and develop nuclear energy on the premise of security. The peaceful use of nuclear energy is important to ensuring energy security and tackling climate change. Like Prometheus who gave fire to humanity, the peaceful use of nuclear energy has sparked a flame of hope and opened up a bright future for mankind. On the other hand, without effective safeguards for nuclear safety and without an adequate response to the potential security risks of nuclear materials and facilities, such a bright future will be overshadowed by dark clouds or even ruined by resulting disasters. Therefore, we must strictly abide by the principle of making safety the top priority if we are to keep the flame of hope for nuclear energy development burning forever. We must follow the approach of enhancing security for the sake of development and promoting development by upholding security, and bring the goals of development and security in alignment with each other. We must convince the national governments and nuclear power companies of all countries that developing nuclear energy at the expense of security can neither be sustainable nor bring real development. Only by adopting credible steps and safeguards, can we keep the risks under effective control and develop nuclear energy in a sustainable way.
