Daya Bay Nuclear Power Station
34.
Sir, in their speeches both Mr. CHAN Kam-chuen and
Mr Martin Lee referred to the recent problems at the Daya
Bay nuclear power station. Members will recollect that on
21 October, I answered questions in this Council regarding the matter of the "missing bars". The first comment I
would make this afternoon is that in a construction project
as large and complex as this, it would be unrealistic to
assume that problems and mistakes will not occur from time
to time. What is important is that when such problems do
arise, they are dealt with in a rational way and
satisfactory remedial solutions are developed.
&
35.
As Members will know, the report on the recent
incident, prepared by the Guangdong Nuclear Power Joint
Venture Company, has been received and has been carefully
stet
considered by the Ad Hoc Group on the Daya Bay Nuclear
Power Station. The Ad Hoc Group were additionally given an
extensive briefing on the subject by engineers from the
Joint Venture Company, at which the media were also
present.
The Group also met with the Secretary for
Economic Services. The Joint Venture Company has made it
clear that while the recent incident revealed shortcomings
in the quality control arrangements at the Daya Bay site,
all the parties involved in the project remain committed to
ensuring that both during the construction and subsequent
operation of the power station safety considerations will
not be compromised.
