5. Combating illicit trafficking of nuclear materials. In January 2011,

China and the U.S. signed the Memorandum of Understanding for Cooperation in Jointly Establishing the Radiation Detection Training Center of China Customs. This Center will be established before the Seoul Nuclear Security Summit. The Center will provide training to countries of the region while meeting domestic training demand. China and the U.S. have jointly implemented the Yangshan Port Pilot Program in Shanghai under the "Megaport Initiative," and the Program was officially inaugurated on 7 December 2011. China and the U.S. jointly published the Technical Guidance on the Nuclear Export Control Lists to help raise the expertise level of Chinese staff involved in nuclear export control.

6. Strengthening the security of radioactive sources. The Regulations on the Administration of Transport Safety of Radioactive Articles of the People' s Republic of China entered into effect on l January 2010. China is implementing the Regulations earnestly to enhance the transport safety and security of radioactive articles. The newly promulgated Regulations on the Safe Management of Radioactive Waste took effect on l March 2012, which lays out requirements for the processing, storage, disposal, management and supervision of radioactive wastes and discussed radioactive sources. China is actively advancing the establishment and utilization of national radioactive sources database and strengthening the life time management and monitoring of radioactive sources. China has consolidated the security of radioactive substances and enhanced the capability of radioactive substance holders to counter theft and robbery. In addition, China has, in cooperation with the United States, upgraded the security facilities of regional radioactive sources storage centers and centralized the storage of several dozen of radioactive sources with high danger.

7. Ensuring nuclear security of major public events. China has developed a range of new equipment covering explosive detection, radionuclide identification and on-board radioactive substances searching, which were successfully applied to ensure the security of major international events, such as Shanghai 2010 World Expo and the Guangzhou 2010 Asian Games. China has conducted cooperation with the IAEA, the U.S. and other countries in this field. China is ready to share its experience and practice with other countries in this regard.

In August 2010, China and the IAEA signed the Practical Arrangement on Nuclear Security Cooperation with a view to intensifying cooperation between the two sides in such areas as nuclear security regulations and standards, nuclear security of major public events, capacity building and training. China and the IAEA co-hosted many regional nuclear security training courses and seminars, covering physical protection, accountability and control of nuclear materials, countering illicit trafficking of nuclear materials, and nuclear security culture, and trained about 100 specialists for more than 10 Asia-Pacific countries. In 2011, China contributed $200,000 to the IAEA Nuclear Security Fund to support China and other Asian countries' nuclear security capability building, and will positively consider making new contribution.

9. Participating in international exchange and cooperation. China has actively participated in the nuclear security workshops and exercises organized within the framework of the IAEA, the GICNT and INTERPOL, with a view to supporting international nuclear security efforts, learning from foreign experience and enhancing domestic capabilities.
