The United States government is assessing reports of a leak at a Chinese nuclear power plant, after warnings of an "imminent radiological threat" by a French company that helps operate it, CNN reported on Monday.

Framatome, the French construction engineering company, sent a letter to the US Department of Energy warning that the Chinese safety authority was raising the acceptable limits for radiation detection outside the Taishan Nuclear Power Plant in the Chinese Guangdong province in order to avoid needing to shut it down, according to the report.

The letter warned that the nuclear reactor is leaking fission gas, adding that the Chinese safety authority has raised regulator "off-site dose limits." EDF said the build-up of noble gases, 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."

I'm sure we'll get the truth about this. /s

Not sure who will lie more: China or the US Government. Sad state of affairs these days.

Precise Process Engineering will never be a strong suit in China.

Their entire culture is the opposite of precision. Instead, it’s all about screwing “the other guy”.

Even their exact copies of Swiss watches won’t keep time.

This is it! We all must lockdown again and wear hazmat suits everywhere! And line up for a radiation shot. And if you oppose all of this, you’re a racist white supremacist mofo.

Technically, Chink News Network will lie more...because not only will they disseminate the PRC lies, but then they bring out their “technical liars” who then create new lies to figure out how it’s Trump’s fault!

“Even their exact copies of Swiss watches won’t keep time.”

And the PLAAF calls the exact copies of the MG-29 the “Flopping Fish” because they are so under powered with the locally produced Chinese engine.

You’d figure that after decades of industrial espionage, and reverse engineering they’d be able to put together something decent. I guess quantity is also a quality.
