'Leaking' Chinese nuclear power plant 'could spark disaster': American intelligence warns reactor has been pumping out radioactive gas for two weeks... but Beijing insists everything is normal
2021-06-14
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • French energy firm that co-owns Taishan Nuclear Power Plant in southern China warned US intelligence two weeks ago that it was leaking radioactive gas

  • America has reviewed the situation and concluded it could turn into a disaster

  • But they believe situation is not yet at 'crisis level' and it may still be resolved

  • Chinese state firm which owns plant insisted Sunday that everything is 'normal'

#12  *Bollocks* "..the problem is a 'fission gas leak'."
Which is what, pray tell?
"...Fission gas is a radioactive byproduct of nuclear fission where heavy atoms are split into lighter ones..."
Okay, that is a singularly uninformative example of newspaperese technobabble.

#11  Just keep raising the safety standards and none of that pesky health/safety issues are going to shut down the plant. Win Win, and if some of the locals start growing funny appendages or move on to a new career in concrete funeral wear, its a plus...

#5  Why is American intelligence warning them at all?

It isn't for China's benefit. It is to alert the rest of the world publicly.

#1  If it was happening in the US, the greenies would be demanding all reactors permanently shut down immediately and summary executions. But it's China, Jake. (crickets...)
