China province mulls law on radioactive pollution control

 　　LANZHOU, Feb. 11 (Xinhua) -- Northwest China's Gansu Province, home to the country's earliest nuclear base, plans to draft a new law on radioactive pollution control this year, the local government said Saturday.

　　Lawmakers in the landlocked province decided¹ to draft the new law at the provincial² legislature's annual session last month, Gansu's environmental protection department said in a press release.

　　The home to China's earliest nuclear test base, Gansu now has nearly 2,900 radioactive sources, more than 1,000 sets of radioactive facilities and a rapidly increasing exposure to electro-magnetic radiation.

　　"It is therefore essential to step up legislation and lay out stricter standards on the treatment of radioactive waste to prevent potentially hazardous³ pollution," the document said.

　　It is not immediately clear when the new law will be enacted⁴.

　　The environmental protection department said it will take the opportunity to propose another set of regulations to ensure that the electro-magnetic radiation from mobile phones, towers and other equipment across the province are within prescribed limits.
