More data on nuclear power plant incidents sought
In reply to press enquiries on media reports about the operation procedures of the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant, a government spokesman said today (Saturday) that the authorities will try to obtain more information on the incidents from the Hong Kong Nuclear Investment Company Limited.
"We understand that the company is making inquiries into the incidents and we are awaiting a report from them," he said.
The Guangdong authorities have made arrangements with the Hong Kong government to notify Hong Kong immediately of any incident at the plant which may have a radiological impact beyond the site boundary of the plant.
These arrangements cover the sharing of information necessary for both sides to plan and implement counter-measures quickly and effectively.
