China held its Sixth Nuclear Security Training in the Eastern Province on Saturday in the eastern part of Fujian Province, according to the Anadoru Agency.
The biennial drill will test nuclear emergency and crisis management at nuclear sites through simulated invasions and attacks under various scenarios, authorities said in a statement.
It aims to increase risk awareness among nuclear facility operators and improve inter-agency coordination.
Authorities say the drill includes multiple agencies, including the Department of Public Security, to test both response and combat capabilities under extreme conditions.
China currently operates 58 nuclear power plants, with nearly 30 more built, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency.
The country also has 600 operational nuclear warheads.
