GUANGDONG: NUCLEAR POWER STATIONS

1.

ON 7 APRIL I CALLED ON MR WU RUI MING OF THE FAB OF GUANGDONG FOREIGN ECONOMIC RELATIONS AND TRADE COMMISSION. OUR CONVERSATION

TOUCHED BRIEFLY ON PLAN FOR FURTHER NUCLEAR POWER STATIONS IN

GUANGDONG. MR WU SAID THAT THEY EXPECTED TO BUILD SEVERAL MORE IN THE FUTURE BUT FOR THE MOMENT THEY WERE CONCENTRATING ON CARRYING OUT A FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR A SECOND STATION. ASKED IF THERE WERE

PLANS TO BUILD A SECOND STATION CLOSE TO DAYA BAYMR WU SAID THAT

GUANGDONG IS A BIG PROVINCE AND THERE IS NO REASON TO BUILD ONE

NEXT TO DAYA BAY. HE SAID THAT NO SITE HAD YET BEEN CHOSEN.

2.

IN INFORMAL TALKS AFTER THE MEETING ANOTHER FERT OFFICIAL SAID THAT HE WAS SURE THEY WOULD NOT BUILD NEAR TO DAYA BAY ''BECAUSE HONG KONG WOULD CAUSE TOO MUCH TROUBLE''.
