What Is Spill Response?

The Daya Bay nuclear leak accident was reported by the media. On May 23, 2010, there was a slight nuclear leak in the reactor of Unit 2 of the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant in Shenzhen. The leak was extremely small and did not cause adverse environmental impacts, so it was not announced. The official statement said that the Daya Bay nuclear leak accident was purely false and no radioactive nuclear leak occurred.

Daya Bay nuclear leak

Right!

Daya Bay Nuclear Power Station is China's first large-scale commercial nuclear power station, located in Dapeng Town, Longgang District, eastern Shenzhen. The power station started preparations in 1980, but during the preparations, a large number of people in Hong Kong rallied against the construction of the nuclear power plant (the nuclear power plant is only 50 kilometers away from Hong Kong), and the Chinese and British governments discussed

On May 23, 2010, the monitoring of Daya Bay Nuclear Power Station found that

Radio Hong Kong cited the so-called "nuclear leak" rumors of the Shenzhen Daya Bay Nuclear Power Station disclosed by the "Voice of Free Asia" that caused the accident to be highly concerned. However, it is highly concerned that the nuclear power plant is only about 45 kilometers away from Hong Kong in a straight line and people are affected by previous serious nuclear leak accidents, so the accident has attracted great attention from the Hong Kong media and the public.

On the afternoon of June 15, 2010, the official released the latest statement, clarifying some media's recent false reports, and also relieved the public's previous doubts. The statement stated that the two units maintained safe and stable operation without radioactivity.

The incident only caused a slight rise in the radioactive iodine and radioactive gas of the cooling water, and the cooling water has been effectively controlled, so the incident did not cause a nuclear leak to the outside world.

Mixed media reports on Daya Bay nuclear power plant

There are media reports: A nuclear leak occurred at the Daya Bay nuclear power plant in Shenzhen. Is this information true? Are there any abnormalities in the environmental monitoring data? How do the parties react to this? Immediately connect with CCTV correspondent Zheng Zhuzi in Shenzhen:
Moderator: Is there a leak at Shenzhen Daya Bay Nuclear Power Station? What is the main reason? [4]
Reporter: After further understanding, the Hong Kong Radio quoted the so-called "nuclear leak" of the Shenzhen Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant disclosed by the "Voice of Free Asia". The actual situation is as follows: Shenzhen Daya Bay Nuclear Power Station Unit 2 had a reactor. Last month It was found that the radioactive iodine nuclides and radioactive gas in the cooling water rose slightly because of a quality defect in one fuel rod.
The CLP of Hong Kong emphasized that the radioactive material had not leaked to the outside and would not affect the public; the magnitude of the leakage in the reactor was also outside the scope of the international nuclear accident notification system. The content of the report was untrue and the incident was exaggerated. The full name of Hong Kong "CLP" is "Hong Kong CLP Power Co., Ltd.". This company is one of the shareholders of Daya Bay Nuclear Power Station and the shareholder.

The truth is a mystery

The media reported differently on the incident, and there were discrepancies in news from various websites. According to the Hong Kong Wen Wei Po, a CLP spokesperson confirmed that a fuel rod in the reactor of Unit 2 of the power station had a slight leak. This time, China Power Meter acknowledged the nuclear leak of the power station. Changed the attitude that was completely denied before. It is reported that the leakage was relatively minor, and the radionuclide in the nuclear power plant can be completely isolated without any impact on the public. The news from Reuters China also said that the radioactive material in the cooling water of the power station reactor increased slightly, but did not cause adverse environmental impact. Fenghuang.com quoted the official operating company's statement that the unit was operating normally and there had been no media leaks. The latest news comes from Tencent: The radioactive level of the primary circuit of the power station has abnormally increased. It is initially determined that there may be a small crack in the fuel rod shell, and the radioactive products are still contained in the containment shell, which will not cause any impact on the public. There are discrepancies in media reports that have made this incident more publicly aware. What is the truth? Official latest statement denies

Daya Bay nuclear leak

This afternoon, the official released the latest statement, clarifying some media's recent false reports, and also relieved the public's previous doubts. The statement stated that the two units maintained safe and stable operation and there were no radioactive nuclear leaks. Continuous environmental monitoring data from Guangdong and Hong Kong shows that the radioactivity levels in the base and surrounding areas have not changed from the background data measured before the power station was put into operation. At present, the radioactivity level of Unit 2 is in the normal operating zone, allowing the unit to maintain normal power operation. Even if more fuel casing damage occurs in special circumstances, causing the unit to enter the shutdown zone, the radioactive products are still contained by the primary pressure boundary and the containment, completely isolated from the environment, and will not cause any impact on the public. The statement also stated that the power plant had reported the incident to the National Nuclear Safety Administration as soon as possible, and notified the Nuclear Safety Advisory Committee that it would control the unit status in strict accordance with the requirements of operating technical specifications based on the principles of safety and transparency. And inform the relevant parties of the follow-up situation.
