The split (on 27/2) of the Ministry of Water Conservancy and Electricity into 2 Ministries and therefore a slow-down in experts being available to Kwangtung until organisational matters sorted out.
A suggestion by Kwangtung to provide Hong Kong with electricity. Proposal very much long term consideration.
Other countries interested in Nuclear Power Generation.

Seems purely administrative. Not neces- sarily important, but it probably gives time for the different opinions on different reactors (e.g. P.W.R/Magnox/ H.W.R/CANDU) to polarise.
To generate long term foreign exchange?
Important problem if the P.W.R. lobby
(French, U.S. etc.) remains strong in China.
Peking fully involved in/informed on all dis- cussions.
Gas Turbines (driving electrical generators)
