Next nuclear disaster? A reactor at Taishan Nuclear Power Plant has fuel rods damaged but Chinese officials don’t want to shut it down!
French energy company EDF has announced that it would shut down a reactor at the Taishan Nuclear Power Plant in China’s Guangdong province due to damage to its fuel rods if it could…
But the decision is ultimately up to the plant’s Chinese operator… And they don’t want, citing ‘the radiochemical parameters of the reactor’s primary circuit water were found to be below regulatory thresholds.‘
The power plant is operated by Taishan Nuclear Power Joint Venture (TNPJVC): China Guangdong Nuclear Power (CGNPC with 70% stake) and Energie de France (EDF with 30% stake).
After problems were found in fuel rod seals in nuclear reactor No I, EDF analysed data provided by TNPJVC, mainly regarding the primary circuit water’s chemical composition.
These show that the water’s radiochemical parameters are still below the regulatory thresholds.
However, the new data show that the situation is evolving in the bad direction thus prompting continuous monitoring.
