2.

DEN ARE NATURALLY CONCERNED THAT THE TEAM'S TERMS OF

REFERENCE SHOULD BE CAREFULLY WORKED OUT WELL IN ADVANCE, THAT THEIR REPORTING LINES SHOULD BE CLEAR (TO HKG UNDER THE CONSULTANCY AND TO HMG), AND THAT WE SHOULD AGREE ON HOW THEIR REPORT SHOULD BE HANDLED. DEN POINTED OUT THAT THE CONSULTANCY

ALREADY BEING CARRIED OUT BY UKAEA FOR HKG, LIKE OTHER CONSULTANCY WORK THEY UNDERTAKE, IS BASED ON CERTAIN ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT QUALITY CONTROL DURING THE CONSTRUCTION PHASE OF THE DAYA BAY REACTOR, AND ABOUT OPERATING STANDARDS ONCE THE STATION IS IN OPERATION. IF, PERHAPS AS A RESULT OF PRELIMINARY DISCUSSIONS
