A French nuclear firm said it was working to resolve a"performance issue" linked to a gas build-up at a plant it part-owns in southern China, following a US media report of a potential leak there.
"According to the data available, the plant is operating within the safety parameters," the company said. French nuclear firm Framatome says it is investigating reports of a leak at the Taishan Nuclear Power Plant in China. AFP did not get an immediate response to a request for comment from either the Chinese foreign ministry or the Chinese nuclear power group.Powered up in 2018, the Taishan plant was the first worldwide to operate a next-generation EPR nuclear reactor, a pressurised water design that has been subject to years of delays in similar European projects in Britain, France and Finland.
Next chinese disaster for the planet?
