[Taishan Nuclear Power Plant/Nuclear Leak/Radiation/U.S.] CNN quoted US officials on June 14 and obtained documents stating that Washington in the past week assessed a report about the alleged possible leakage of the Guangdong Taishan Nuclear Power Plant. The report believes that it has not yet reached the "crisis level."
The Taishan Nuclear Power Plant later issued a response stating that continuous monitoring of environmental data showed that the Taishan Nuclear Power Plant and its surrounding environmental indicators were normal.
Since the Taishan Nuclear Power Plant is only 130 kilometers away from Hong Kong, Hong Kong may still be affected once a nuclear leak occurs. The incident has attracted heated discussions among netizens. Here are 7 things you should know about the Taishan Nuclear Power Plant!
The Taishan nuclear power plant was accused by the French company that its radiation detection level has exceeded the French standard, but the mainland security department has continuously improved the safety level of peripheral monitoring, so that the power plant can continue to operate.

CNN reported in a letter to the U.S. Department of Energy that Framatome, a French company that operates the plant, reported that Framatome accused the Chinese security department of raising the acceptable level of radiation that can be detected outside the Taishan nuclear power plant in order to avoid the need to shut down. Radiation threats.”
However, the report quoted sources as saying that the National Security Council (NSC) in Washington has held several meetings on the incident in the past week. It is believed that the Taishan nuclear power plant facility is not yet at a "crisis level." The public poses a serious security threat, and there is no public assessment result.
The CNN report also stated that Washington refused to explain the report on the leakage of the Taishan nuclear power plant, but NSC officials, the State Department and the Department of Energy emphasized that in the event of a threat to the Chinese people, the United States must disclose the nuclear accident in accordance with the current effective treaty.

Taishan Nuclear Power Joint Venture Co., Ltd. issued a document stating that the plant will build two EPR (European Advanced Pressurized Water Reactor) nuclear power units.
Unit 1 was in commercial operation on December 13, 2018, and Unit 2 was in commercial operation on September 7, 2019.
Unit 1 has entered the second fuel cycle and is currently operating at full power; Unit 2 has completed the overhaul as planned and was successfully connected to the grid on the 10th of this month.
Taishan Nuclear Power Plant stated that this overhaul is the first overhaul of Unit 2 after it was put into commercial operation. The overhaul safety, quality, and construction period have all achieved the set targets.
Since it was put into commercial operation, Taishan Nuclear Power Plant has strictly controlled the operation of the units in accordance with operating license documents and technical procedures. All operating indicators of the two units have met the requirements of nuclear safety regulations and power plant technical specifications.
Many Hong Kong citizens are worried that if a nuclear leak occurs, Hong Kong will be severely affected, and the report has aroused discussion among a large number of netizens.
In fact, the Hong Kong Observatory started an environmental radiation monitoring program in 1987 for the Guangdong/Lingao Nuclear Power Plant, which was going to be put into operation at that time, to monitor whether Hong Kong would be adversely affected.
The monitoring plan is based on man-made radionuclides, and keep an eye out for changes.
Hong Kong Observatory:
Environmental Radiation Monitoring Project
In 1987, the Hong Kong Observatory started an environmental radiation monitoring program for the Guangdong/Lingao Nuclear Power Plant, which was about to be put into operation at that time. The relevant environmental gamma radiation level figures will be updated on the Internet every hour.
The picture shows the data at 4 pm on June 14, 2021.
