Action Taken

DAYA BAY : EVACUATION ARRANGEMENTS

WE ARE FAXING TO YOU AN ARTICLE FROM THE SOUTH CHINA MORNING

POST OF 22 SEPTEMBER. IT WAS REPORTED THAT THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT

MIGHT REVISE ITS EVACUATION PLANS FOLLOWING A DETAILED STUDY OF

THE CHERNOBYL INCIDENT. THIS MIGHT LEAD TO CHANGES IN THE EVACUATION ARRANGEMENTS WHICH WOULD ALSO APPLY TO THE DAYA BAY

PLANT. MRS. E. MOK, WHILE ATTENDING THE IAEA GENERAL CONFERENCE

SPECIAL SESSION (24 26 SEPTEMBER 1986), RAISED THIS WITH THE

-

UK MISSION. HOWEVER, THE UK MISSION WAS UNABLE TO GET

CONFIRMATION FROM THE FRENCH DELEGATION ON THIS POINT.

2. WE SHOULD BE GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD FIND OUT FROM THE FRENCH

GOVERNMENT WHETHER IT HAS REVIEWED THE EVACUATION ARRANGEMENTS:

AND IF SO, WHAT ARE THE PROPOSED CHANGES.
