Following the government reorganization begun in March 1998 the CAEA was placed under the control of the new COSTIND as one of its two subsidiary bureaus. This change separates the CAEA, which is a regulatory body, from the CNNC which is principally interested in promoting nuclear exports and the development of China's nuclear industry.
