China Taishan plant: ‘Performance issue’ reported at nuclear facility
What went wrong at the plant?
EDF said
there was a build up of noble gases in part of the cooling system of the plant’s number one reactor.
The gases
were collected and treated before being released into the atmosphere in “accordance with regulations”.The Taishan plant
provides power for the Guangzhou and Shenzhen areas, both major manufacturing hubs.The unnamed spokesman told AFP
the gas leaked after the coating on some of the fuel rods deteriorated.
Fuel rods are sealed metal tubes
which hold nuclear materials used to fuel the nuclear reactor.Noble gases – also known as inert gases – are a group of stable chemical elements which have very low reactivity.
They are often used in situations
where scientists do not want chemical reactions, for instance in nuclear reactors or lighting.AFP news agency reports
the gases released were xenon and krypton.The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)
announced it has “no indication that a radiological incident occurred”.
The agency, which is the UN’s nuclear watchdog, said it had contacted counterparts in China about the issue.
EDF Energy
also announced on Monday that it had called a meeting of the plant’s board.China Guangdong Nuclear Power Group told state outlet the Global Times that
the nuclear plant has operated the reactors strictly in compliance with business licence documents and technical procedures.
