BEIJING, April 24 (Xinhua) -- Nuclear facility operators must take full responsibility for safety, according to a draft law submitted to China's top legislature for a second reading on Monday.

The "full responsibility" is an update from the previous "major responsibilities."

It requires operators to monitor and report the types and density of radioactive elements in their area to environment authorities regularly.

The new draft was submitted to the National People's Congress (NPC) Standing Committee on Monday at the start of its 4-day bi-monthly session.
