FOR DR. B. WADE.
FROM: MRS. E. MOX, ECONOMIC SERVICE BRANCH.
FURTHER TO MY TELEGRAM OF 13 MAY 1996, WE HAVE CONSIDERED CAREFULLY THE REPLIES PROVIDED WN YOUR LETTER DATED 7 MAY 1986
REGARDING REPORT NO. 4 - ACCIDENT ASSESSMENT PHASE . THERE ARE
STILL SOME QUESTIONS IN OUR MINDS : THESE ARE SET OUT IN MIFT FOR
YOUR REFERENCE.
2. IN VIEW OF THE COMPLEXITY OF THE SUBJECT WE FEEL THAT A FACE-TO-
FACE DISCUSSION WOULD BE MORE FRUNTFUL THAN PROTRACTED DISCUSSIONS ON PAPER. MOREOVER, AS # HAVE HINFORMED YOU IN MY PREVIOUS COMMUNICATIONS, THE CHERNOBYL ACCIDENT HAS REVIVED PUBLIC CONCERN OVER THE DAYA BAY PROJECT, AND IT SEEMS THAT THE PUBLIC DISPOSITION NOW IS MUCH MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO THE ANTI-NUCLEAR LOBBY THAN WE ESTIMATED PREVIOUSLY. A VISIT BY YOUR EXPERTS HERE WILL THEREFORE ENABLE YOU TO HAVE A FIRST HAND FEEL OF THE PREVAILING MOOD, MOPE
YOU FORESEE NO PROBLEM IN RELEASING YOUR EXPERTS FOR THIS PURPOSE.
3. ON THIS BASIS, WE SUGGEST THE FOLLOWING PROGRAMME FOR THE VISIT:
(A) DISCUSSION ON THE RESIDUAL POINTS RELATED TO REPORT NO. 4
ON ACCIDENT ASSESSMENT PHASE
(B) VISIT TO THE DAYA BAY STATION SITE:
(C) MEETING WITH REPRESENTATIVES OF ROYAL OBSERVATORY, MEDICAL AND HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT AS WELL AS OTHER GOVERNMENT GROUPS FOR A BRIEFING ON THE CONSULTANCY YOU ARE UNDERTAKING ON OUR BEHALF.
