GUANGDONG: NUCLEAR POWER STATIONS
1.
ON 7 APRIL I CALLED ON MR WU RUI MING OF THE FAB OF GUANGDONG FOREIGN ECONOMIC RELATIONS AND TRADE COMMISSION. OUR CONVERSATION
TOUCHED BRIEFLY ON PLAN FOR FURTHER NUCLEAR POWER STATIONS IN
GUANGDONG. MR WU SAID THAT THEY EXPECTED TO BUILD SEVERAL MORE IN THE FUTURE BUT FOR THE MOMENT THEY WERE CONCENTRATING ON CARRYING OUT A FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR A SECOND STATION. ASKED IF THERE WERE
PLANS TO BUILD A SECOND STATION CLOSE TO DAYA BAYMR WU SAID THAT
GUANGDONG IS A BIG PROVINCE AND THERE IS NO REASON TO BUILD ONE
NEXT TO DAYA BAY. HE SAID THAT NO SITE HAD YET BEEN CHOSEN.
2.
IN INFORMAL TALKS AFTER THE MEETING ANOTHER FERT OFFICIAL SAID THAT HE WAS SURE THEY WOULD NOT BUILD NEAR TO DAYA BAY ''BECAUSE HONG KONG WOULD CAUSE TOO MUCH TROUBLE''.
