Typical substandard commie facilities. Just like their airplanes, ships and missiles. Massive failure rates.

But, but...China says there is no leak...no problem at all.

First a bioengineered virus and then a nuclear cloud...what’s next?

I find it curious that I’ve seen no technical explanation of what the exact problem is. Has anyone seen an article explaining what the real issue is and why the French company is asking the US for an export license?

An export license means we gave or sold technology to France but it requires the US’ okay, an export license, to give the technology to anyone else. This means the tech can either be used to make weapons directly or has some dual use capability where it can solve a civilian problem but also can be used to facilitate weapons production.

That's the way these things always start, isn't it?

I saw an article this morning that the Chinese said it was the cladding on 6 fuel rods in the bundle of 60,000. Said it was damaged prior to insertion into the reactor and was normal.

Get a load of this...

What happened at China’s Taishan nuclear reactor?

I thought originally they said they were releasing gas, or was it just from some heavy Hunan food??

Nothing to see here until one sees a mysterious turtle looking gargantuan monster rising from the water.

So it’s leaking xenon? That’s quite a bit heavier than air, so this could be a problem in China, but unless the rest of the reactor starts to melt, is this a problem for anyone else?

Nothing BidAn wont fix once he is back home. Although, he might delegate the leak issue to Caballa.

Interesting perspective. So this could all be staged to circumvent the export restrictions on technology that the Chinese want for their weapons program?
