During yesterday’s Macau Forum, guest speakers urged the local government to ask its Guangdong counterpart to provide more proof about the safety of the under-construction Taishan Nuclear Power Plant.
Also attending the forum, Iu Chong Hin, an official from the Public Security Co-ordination Office, said that Macau’s then Portuguese administration had made contingency plans in 1995 for any nuclear accident which may happen in Guangdong, soon after the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant started operating.
Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant, the first nuclear plant in the province, started operating in 1994 and is roughly 50 kilometres north-east of Hong Kong.
