NUCLEAR SAFETY: CHINA
THE FRENCH ARE AS CONCERNED AS WE TO DAMP DOWN ANY HYSTERICAL
REACTION IN HONG KONG ABOUT DAYA BAY. ONE SUGGESTION PUT
DURING A RECENT CONVERSATION WITH THE DREE WAS THAT EDF MIGHT
HOST A SMALL TEAM OF CONCERNED HONG KONG LEADERS, INCLUDING
MORE RESPONSIBLE JOURNALISTS, TO GIVE THEM A PRESENTATION OF
THE FRENCH SECURITY MEASURES AGAINST ANY LEAKAGES OR INTEGRITY,
A VISIT TO A MODEL STATION, AND A PRESENTATION OF THE CONFIDENCE
THAT THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT HAVE IN THEIR NUCLEAR PROGRAMME.
THE TIMING OF ANY SUCH VISIT WOULD CLEARLY NEED TO BE CAREFULLY
CHOSEN TO CONFORM TO SHIFTS OF OPINION IN HONG KONG, BUT ALSO
TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ANY STEPS THAT THE CHINESE ARE READY TO
PROPOSE ON THEIR NUCLEAR SAFETY ORGANISATION.
2 YOUR THOUGHTS WOULD BE WELCOME, PARTICULARLY IN TIME FOR
GUIDANCE TO BE INSERTED INTO FRENCH GOVERNMENT BRIEFING FOR
THEIR WELCOME OF VICE PREMIER LI PENG.
