NUCLEAR POWER GENERATION ON RETURN FROM BEIJING

We have had a very useful and fruitful three-day visit

to Beijing.

Not only did we discuss in-depth our observations

with the relevant authorities in China, we also had the opportunity

to visit their nuclear research institutes and meet their top-

level scientists and engineers in this field. We were impressed

by their breadth and depth of knowledge, and close contacts with

their counterparts in France, USA, Japan, West Germany and other

countries. We noted their long working experience in the nuclear

field in China, and we were also pleased to learn of their

extensive knowledge gained through those international contacts.

Similar to all countries we visited, their approach to nuclear

power places safety and quality as top priority. We feel assured

that they will make every effort to ensure the safety of the Daya

Bay plant is in accordance with the highest intemational standards.

In the press statement issued before our departure, we
