The expert groups for the emergency work cooperation between Guangdong and Hong Kong for the GNPS have reached consensus on Agenda Item 6 to the effect that:
1
1.1
Water Supplied to Hong Kong
Radiological Monitoring of Water by the Guangdong side during normal times and exchange of results
Radiological monitoring of the water supplied to Hong Kong during normal times is the responsibility of the Guangdong Environmental Radiological Research and Monitoring Centre. In view of the fact that the monitoring results will serve as the background radiation level of water supplied to Hong Kong and the need for off-site emergency work at the Guangdong Nuclear Power Station, the Centre will establish one water sampling point at Shenzhen Reservoir and one at the inlet of the aqueduct supplying water to Hong Kong. The Centre will carry out sampling on a regular basis in accordance with the normal sampling schedule. The monitoring results with details of the radionuclides monitored and the sampling frequency will be passed onto the Hong Kong side as part of the annual bulletin under Agenda Item 4, "Exchange of Monitoring Data during Normal Times".
1.2
Radiological monitoring of water by the Guangdong side during off- site emergency at the Guangdong Nuclear Power Station
When the power station enters an off-site emergency situation after a serious accident, the Guangdong Environmental Radiological Research and Monitoring Centre will carry out monitoring during the late (intermediate) phase of the accident in accordance with the following emergency monitoring plans:
(a)
Sampling points: one at Shenzhen Reservoir and one at the inlet of the aqueduct supplying water to Hong Kong (same as in normal times).
