1. THE CHINESE HAVE NOT DISCUSSED WITH THE NAEA THE POSSIBILITY OF CONDUCTING AN OSART OR A PRE-OPERATIONAL OSART AT DAYA BAY. THEY HAVE, HOWEVER, DISCUSSED THE POSSIBILITY OF AN OSART TO THEHR INDIGENOUS PWR NEAR SHANGHAM.

2. AN OSART MS A SAFETY STUDY CARRIHED OUT BY A GROUP OF INTERNATIONAL NUCLEAR EXPERTS (ONLY SOME OF WHOM WORK FOR THE MAEA). HT HAS TO BE REQUESTED BY THE HOST GOVERNMENT AND ITS FINDINGS ARE CONFIDENTIAL UNLESS THE HOST GOVERNMENT DECIDES TO PUBLISH THEM WHICH IS UNUSUAL. PRE-OPERATIONAL OSARTS DO NOT FORMALLY EXIST BUT THE HAEA IS PREPARED TO CONDUCT A SURVEY OF A NUCLEAR PLANT TO DETERMINE IF IT IS SAFE TO ENTER INTO OPERATION. THUS WOULD BE CONDUCTED ON THE SAME TERMS AS THE OSART.

3. A SET OF RECENT AEA DOCUMENTS ON OSARTS FOLLOW BY BAG.
