Beijing, Guangzhou and Hongkong
Experts are satisfied with the
construction works of the Daya Bay
Nuclear Power Plant. The opposition
of the people of Hongkong could
be treated as a reminder
that management of the nuclear
power plant should be closely monitored
yesterday.
The three-day nuclear power seminar concluded at Shenzhen
The experts who had attended the seminar expressed satisfaction
with the construction works of the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant.
People attending the seminar included over ten experts from
Beijing, Guangzhou, Hongkong and Shenzhen. They had listened to the detailed
introduction of the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant, gone to the site of the nuclear power plant for inspection, and held seminar discussions.
Professor Y.W. CHAN of the Physics Department, Faculty of
Science of the Chinese University of Hongkong said the nuclear technology
exhibition jointly held in Hongkong by the Hong Kong Science and Technology Association and the Chinese Nuclear Association was a great success. 80,000
people visited the exhibition within two weeks. It enabled people of Hongkong to have a better understanding of the nuclear industry and begin to change
their attitude towards the nuclear power plant. They were no longer
affected by fear as they had been before.
According to Professor Chan, that some people of Hong Kong
oppose the nuclear power plant is mainly because they think mainland China is incapable in management. And, this is the conclusion they have reached because they know hotel management in mainland China is inefficient. Though
this conclusion is quite unilateral, it is hoped mainland China will
improve as soon as possible to reduce the worry in the mind of the people
of Hongkong.
