THE EXISTING CHANNELS, THROUGH WHICH GOOD PROGRESS HAD BEEN MADE IN SOME AREAS: BUT ON THIS IMPORTANT QUESTION THERE HAD SEEMED TO BE A BLOCKAGE AND A NEED FOR HIGHER LEVEL INTERVENTION.

COMMENT

7. IN OUR PRESENTATION WE PUT THE EMPHASIS ON HONG KONG'S PROXIMITY TO THE POWER STATION AND THE EXTENT TO WHICH HONG KONG WOULD BE AFFECTED BY ANY ACCIDENT. WE DID NOT MAKE HEAVY WEATHER OF THE IAEA CONVENTIONS IN CASE IT LED TO AN UNHELPFUL ARGUMENT ABOUT SOVEREIGNTY ETC. BUT IT IS ENCOURAGING THAT THERE WAS NO DISPOSITION ON WANG'S PART TO DISPUTE THE APPLICABILITY OF THE CONVENTIONS BETWEEN CHINA AND HONG KONG. HIS TONE WAS VERY

POSITIVE.
