PEKING TELNO 1139:
GUANGDONG NUCLEAR POWER STATION AT DAYA BAY
1. MR GOODLAD TOLD AMBASSADOR MA ON 23 AUGUST THAT HE HAD SEEN REPORTS FROM HONG KONG THAT THEY WERE HAVING DIFFICULTY IN ARRANGING MEETINGS WITH THE GUANGDONG AUTHORITIES TO DISCUSS EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION CONCERNING INCIDENTS AT DAYA BAY. HE HOPED THAT A MEETING COULD BE ARRANGED QUICKLY, AND LEAD TO AN EARLY AGREEMENT, AS THE PLANT WAS DUE TO START UP IN NOVEMBER. IT WOULD BE REGRETTABLE IF DIFFICULTIES AROSE OVER WHAT SHOULD BE A GOOD EXAMPLE OF UK/PRC COOPERATION.
2.
THE MINISTER ADDED INFORMALLY THAT HIS EXPERIENCE AS MINISTER WITH RESPONSIBILITY FOR NUCLEAR POWER HAD TAUGHT HIM THAT RELEASING AS MUCH INFORMATION AS POSSIBLE HELPED TO DISPEL PUBLIC FEARS.
3.
MA TOOK NOTE AND UNDERTOOK TO REPORT.
