Framatome, a subsidiary of French energy giant EDF, said in a statement to the AFP it was \u201csupporting resolution of a performance issue\u201d at the plant, which it co-owns with China\u2019s state-owned nuclear energy group.<\/p>\n
According to the data available, the plant is operating within the safety parameters,\u201d<\/strong> the company added.<\/p><\/blockquote>\nPreviously, CNN reported the US government had spent the preceding week assessing the danger posed by the plant after Framatome had warned of an “imminent radiological threat.” That\u2019s according to US officials and documents viewed by CNN.<\/p>\n
The news service noted that it\u2019s unusual that a foreign company would seek help from the US government when its Chinese partner had not even acknowledged there was a problem.<\/strong><\/p>\nFramatome asked the US for a waiver that would allow the company to share American technical help to resolve the problem at Taishan.<\/p>\n
Taishan Reactors \u2018Operational\u2019<\/strong><\/h2>\nOn Sunday, the power plant published a statement on its website insisting that environmental readings for the plant and the surrounding area were \u201cnormal\u201d and that its two nuclear reactors were \u201coperational.\u201d<\/p>\n
“Since it was put into commercial operation, the Taishan Nuclear Power Plant has strictly controlled the operation of the units in accordance with operating license documents and technical procedures.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll operating indicators of the two units have met the requirements of nuclear safety regulations and power plant technical specifications,” read the statement.<\/p>\n
