Operator says China nuclear plant facing ‘performance issue’
HONG KONG: The French joint operator of a Chinese nuclear plant near Hong Kong has said that the plant is dealing with a “performance issue” but is currently operating within safety limits, following a report of a potential radioactive leak.
The Taishan Nuclear Power Plant is jointly owned by China Guangdong Nuclear Power Group and French multinational electric utility Electricite de France, the main owner of Framotome, which helps operate the plant.
“Framatome is supporting resolution of a performance issue with the Taishan Nuclear Power Plant in Guangdong province, China,” Framatome said in a short statement on Monday.
