and

International Commission

on Electrical Engineering. All

these have facilitated the gathering of information on nuclear

power development for our country, keeping us abreast with

changes, enhancing our technology, bringing improvement to our

management, strengthening safety measures and promoting the development of nuclear power. Our country has confirmed that we will formulate our nuclear safety regulations in accordance with international standards. We have now published four codes of safety requirements for nuclear power plants: in site selection, plant design, operation, and quality assurance. They conform with those drawn up by IAEA and the ICRP. This, no doubt, will

be instrumental to the safety and quality control in the

construction and operation of our nuclear plants.

Ladies and gentlemen, may I once again thank you all for making positive and useful suggestions on the construction of

the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant. We shall study them most

carefully and, as far as possible, put them to use. I believe that you have, through this visit to Beijing to reflect your

opinions and exchange views with us, improved our mutual

understanding and increased our appreciation of the safety

aspects of the Daya Bay Plant, which will be beneficial in allaying and removing the anxiety of the Hong Kong people.

Now, I wish to invite Mr MA Fubang, Director of

of the

Nuclear Power Bureau to give our preliminary views on the

observations for the consideration of the Chinese Government and

the Guangdong Nuclear Power Joint Venture Co. Ltd. contained in

your Fact-finding Report.

Thank you.
