PEKING'S TELNO 400 : GUANGDONG NUCLEAR POWER STATION AT DAYA BAY

SUMMARY

1. WE CONCLUDED FIVE DAYS OF TALKS WITH OUR GUANGDONG COUNTERPARTS ON OFF-SITE EMERGENCIES. THE TALKS WERE POSITIVE, FRIENDLY AND CO-OPERATIVE AND GOOD PROGRESS WAS MADE ON ALL ISSUE DISCUSSED. HOWEVER, WE HAVE YET TO DISCUSS ON-SITE INCIDENTS AND EMERGENCIES.

2. CLEARLY THE LOBBYING EFFORTS OF ALL ADDRESSES HAVE PAID OFF. WE ARE GRATEFUL TO ALL CONCERNED. WE SUGGEST THAT PEKING SHOULD THANK CHEN ZENG QING FOR HIS EFFORTS AND SEEK HIS HELP IN RESOLVING OUTSTANDING DIFFICULTIES AND IN CONVENING A FURTHER MEETING IN APRIL.
