The Taishan Nuclear Power Plant in Guangdong, 130 kilometers away from Hong Kong, was involved in a suspected leak.
Some foreign media said that the US government was evaluating a report about the alleged leaks in the factory in the past week, but it has not yet reached a "crisis level."
The Taishan Nuclear Power Joint Venture Co., Ltd. responded last night (13th) that the current continuous monitoring of environmental data shows that the nuclear power plant and its surrounding environmental indicators are normal.
Liang Rongwu, former assistant director of the Observatory, one of the members of the Guangdong Nuclear Power Plant Nuclear Safety Advisory Committee, believes that the Taishan Nuclear Power Plant is far away from Hong Kong and limited by the wind direction and geographical location. Even if there is a leakage, the impact on Hong Kong will be limited.
He also believes that there is no scientific data on the allegations, and believes that the factory has the ability to assess the impact, and the ideal is to release the data to clarify the public's doubts.
Taishan Nuclear Power Joint Venture Co., Ltd. issued a report on the evening of June 13 and stated that the current continuous monitoring environmental data showed that the nuclear power plant and the surrounding environmental indicators were normal.

Radiation levels at Chek Lap Kok monitoring station are temporarily normal
With reference to the radiation monitoring network of the Hong Kong Observatory, the data showed no abnormal fluctuations.
The Hong Kong Observatory replied that it has always monitored the environmental radiation level in Hong Kong and announced the results to the public. According to the radiation monitoring results, the environmental radiation level in Hong Kong has been normal for the past year.
Liang Rongwu said that if radiation affects the health of residents, the Hong Kong government will communicate with the mainland government. However, referring to the radiation monitoring network of the Observatory, the radiation level at the Chek Lap Kok monitoring station closest to Taishan is temporarily normal and there is no fluctuation.
He also pointed out that in recent days, the wind is mainly from the south or southwest. If the Taishan nuclear power plant in the southwest of Hong Kong leaks, it will mainly blow inland. It is believed that westerly winds will affect Hong Kong, but the possibility is relatively small.
He said that Hong Kong is more concerned about the Daya Bay and Lingao nuclear power plants located in the northeast of Hong Kong. If there is an accident in winter, the northeast monsoon will blow in Hong Kong, and radiation may be brought by the wind; while the Taishan and Yangjiang nuclear power plants Due to the geographical distance of the factory, I believe that the blown arrival has scattered.
Liang Rongwu believes that there is no scientific data in the relevant reports, and the accusations are vague. He believes that the nuclear power plant has the ability to estimate what radiation is released. The most fact is the data from the ground monitoring station. I believe that the publication of the relevant data will even more clarify the public's doubts.
According to the data recorded in various regions of Hong Kong in the past, the hourly average environmental gamma radiation dose rate in Hong Kong can fluctuate in the range of 0.06 to 0.3 microsievert per hour.

Reports indicate that China has raised acceptable levels of radiation detection
CNN reported that a French company operating the Taishan nuclear power plant wrote to the US energy department, stating that the Chinese security department had relaxed the acceptable level of radiation detection at the periphery of the nuclear power plant in case it needs to be shut down. The new level has exceeded French standards. ; It also described that nuclear power plants have an imminent radiological threat and asked the United States to assist in responding.
However, the U.S. government determined that the nuclear power plant had not reached the "crisis level" after an assessment. It has discussed the situation with the French government and experts, and has also contacted the Chinese government.
Taishan Nuclear Power Joint Venture Co., Ltd. stated that the environmental indicators of Taishan Nuclear Power Plant and its surroundings are normal. Unit 1 has entered the second fuel cycle and is currently operating at full power; Unit 2 has completed the first major overhaul after it was put into commercial operation. Set goals such as quality and duration, and successfully connected to the grid on the 10th of this month.
The company also pointed out that the nuclear power plant strictly controls the operation of the unit in accordance with the operating license documents and technical procedures, and the operation indicators of the two units meet the requirements of nuclear safety regulations and power plant technical specifications.
