#France suggests #China should halt nuclear reactor after problems

//French power group #EDF (EDF.PA) said on July 22, 2021 that it would halt the Taishan nuclear reactor it operates with a Chinese partner if similar problems around fuel rod seals were to occur in France, suggesting the plant should hit pause.

The state-controlled French group stopped short of directly calling on China to stop operations, and said the venture it runs with China General Nuclear Power Group (CGN), the majority shareholder in the plant, should decide.

China said there was no leak, and refuted a report that it has raised limits on permissible levels of radiation outside the plant.//

EDF says it would shut Taishan reactor if it were in France

French nuclear operator EDF said it would have shut down a reactor in southern China being investigated for a potential fuel rod issue if the facility were in France but that the decision to continue operating the joint venture was beyond its control.

The Taishan nuclear power plant, which is majority controlled and operated by China General Nuclear Power Corp, with EDF holding a 30 per cent stake, held an extraordinary board meeting on Thursday to review the latest data following reports of problems last month.

“On the basis of the analyses carried out, EDF’s operating procedures for the French nuclear fleet would lead EDF, in France, to shut down the reactor in order to accurately assess the situation in progress and stop its development,” EDF said in a statement following the meeting

Is the nuclear plant turning into a disaster? French nuclear operator EDF seems to think so.

EDF has warned #China that the Taishan nuclear reactor to stop operating before it turns into a disaster.

However, under the #CCP political system, officials will never be able to avoid any foreseeable risk. That's because #CCP officials never have to be responsible for what happen to the country. Or, to be more accurate, they are only responsible for their current GDP. Once they moved onto their next post, they won't hold any responsibility for it. So, to close down the nuclear reactor will not be their consideration at all.
