OUR TELNO 4107 : PARLIAMENTARY QUESTION : DAYA BAY
WE HAVE JUST RECEIVED, IN CONFIDENCE, A FIRST DRAFT OF THE GNPJVC FULL REPORT ON THE OMISSION OF THE 316 REINFORCEMENT BARS FROM THE FIRST LAYER OF THE DAYA BAY FOUNDATION RAFT. THE REPORT REVEALS THAT THE REINFORCEMENT IN THE FIRST LAYER OF THE RAFT COMPRISES 8080 VERTICAL AND INCLINED BARS AND 6524 HORIZONTAL BARS MAKING A TOTAL OF 14,604 BARS. IN EARLIER REPORTS TO US ONLY THE 808U FIGURE WAS MENTIONED AND THIS WAS USED IN OUR SUGGESTED REPLY SET OUT IN PARA. 2 OF TUR.
2. TO CORRECT OUR PROPOSED REPLY WE SUGGEST THAT THE SECOND SENTENCE SHOULD BE DELETED AND REPLACED WITH THE FOLLOWING : ''ALTHOUGH MORE THAN 14,500 REINFORCEMENT BARS WERE USED IN THE FIRST LAYER OF THE REACTOR RAFT ONLY 260 OF THE REQUIRED INCLINED STARTER REINFORCEMENT BARS WERE, INCLUDED.
3. WE APOLOGIZE FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE CAUSED.
