SINGAPORE/PARIS, June 14 - French power group EDF has begun examination of a potential issue linked to a build up of inert gases at itspower station in China, though the company and its Chinese partner said the plant was operating safely.
EDF said the build-up of noble gases krypton and xenon, which it said had affected the primary circuit of reactor No.1 of the Taishan plant, was a "known phenomenon, studied and provided for in the reactor operating procedures." Krypton and xenon do not tend to react with other substances but they do have radioactive qualities and are therefore subject to constant monitoring.State-run CGN, the majority owner of the joint venture, said operations at the plant met safety rules and the surrounding environment is safe.
Are they getting any kind of readings of 3.6 roentgen though?!?!? 🤔🤔
