"They make an elephant out of a fly": Chinese nuclear physicist on CNN's report on the "leak" at the Taishan nuclear power plant

In China and not only, they continue to respond to material on the air of CNN, where, with reference to the French operator Framatome of the Chinese nuclear power plant Taishan, an imminent radiation threat was announced at the station. In the materials reported by Voennoye Obozreniye, it was stated that there was a leak, and the Chinese side "instead of taking action, decided to raise the criteria for the maximum permissible level of radiation background." CNN claimed that Framatome had asked the American side to join in monitoring the situation at the newest nuclear power plant in China.

In China itself, the materials of the American channel are called "a great exaggeration." And in the United States, a statement was published by the Chinese nuclear physicist Li Ning, who works in the United States. Li Ning:

CNN just made an elephant out of a fly by talking about a problem that can be easily solved.

According to him, in Europe itself, nuclear power is being actively destroyed, actively using phrases about "incredible danger."

Li Ning:

Now they are trying to announce the dangers of nuclear power plants in China.

In such a situation, the statement had to be published by the French Framatome itself, to which, after the CNN article, questions of the following nature arose: "If the company itself was building a nuclear power plant in China, then why are there now statements about some leaks and" imminent radiation hazard? "

In the French Framatome:

The station operates within the security parameters. Our team works with Chinese experts to come up with a solution to any potential problem.

From this statement it becomes clear that the American channel CNN did indeed broadcast false information, at least exaggerating the scale of the "problem."

In this regard, the journalists turned to the Hong Kong administration with a request to provide data on how the radiation background in the city changed after CNN reports. It should be noted that Hong Kong is located near Guangdong province, where the Taishan nuclear power plant is located. The head of Hong Kong, Carrie Lam, reports that no increase in the background radiation has been recorded.

and the Chinese side "instead of taking action, decided to raise the criteria for the maximum permissible level of radiation background"

It's scary to imagine what was going on in the comments if Russia were accused of this instead of China.

It would simply be hysterical that the undemocratic Russian atom is encroaching on and challenging the security of the geyrope, while the occupied Ukrainians are ready to stand unwaveringly to defend the world from Putin's attacks and demand new sanctions! Everything is as usual!

Probably, so much water and radiation are being drained from Fukushima that it's time to raise a camouflage noise.
Well, it's all like in our saying about a speck and a log!

[figwam]

Japan dumps radioactive water into the Pacific Ocean. And silence.

[Marachuh]

So Russia still remembers Chernobyl and pokes them in the face. And Fukushima is so ... little things in life and trifles.

[Ryaruav]

so after all, Fukushima is far from Europe and the United States

This is just another highly likely information attack on China.
"Highly likely" is everything American: the notorious Powell test tube, and the provocation in the Gulf of Tonkin, and constant interference in the most democratic elections, and cyber attacks, and the Russian threat, and so on, so on ........

That's it. But here is the point. On the one hand, the French laid straw for themselves, and on the other, damage to their reputation. How do they build? Monsieur has not thought of it!

[prior]

They did not ask the monsters. The American partners said "radiation leak" means a leak.
"Gentlemen" are supposed to believe without proof, otherwise the Colt and the dollar will have their weighty say.

[alex neym_2]

Have you ever seen gentlemen among the mattress covers? In-in and I about the same.

[prior]

Sorry. I immediately wanted to put the word gentleman in quotation marks, but he hurried and pressed Enter.
I'll fix it now.

[alex neym_2]

Apologies are accepted - a colt in a suitcase with "greens" where would you like to send it?

[prior]

Colt is not our method, the ax is more familiar.
And greenery this year in the beds .
But thanks for the offer!

By the way, this is the most interesting question about the French company.
With CNN, everything is clear, as their president, fake news, said about them.
But CNN was referring to a letter from a French firm addressed to the United States.
Apparently there was some kind of letter from the French. The scandal is unlikely to die out.
CNN should submit a letter / text of the appeal.

It could be, for example, a routine report on work at a nuclear power plant in the IAEA, which was "leaked" to CNN by some of the American employees of this organization. Then the French are not actually to blame, but also partly the injured party.

However, it is possible that someone from the French (an employee or a Frenchman from the IAEA) wrote a "panicky" letter to the State Department.

We are waiting for the cards to be revealed ...

[Cottodraton]

Zelenostyenie continues to gain momentum, gradually starting to turn into a mad dictatorship of obscurantism ... They no longer know how to restrict whom. Let's go back to the caves, it's so eco-friendly!

In the French Framatome:

If this is true, then the Chinese have the opportunity, and should, to sue CNN. Among other things, this will prove nonsense. There is no state secret, you cannot refer to the secrecy of the source, since the source indicated a French company, that is, some of its official statements. It is enough to ask SNN what statements, and hello))

[Prisoner]

Mattress media are the most "honest" media in the world! Hurray, comrades!

[alien308]

Nothing terrible happens. During operation, the fuel elements undergo partial depressurization with the release of a small amount of radioactive inert gases into the primary circuit, where they decay. The proportion of unmetered fuel elements is determined by the regulations and when exceeded, the reactor is shut down. This problem is popular with the French. Due to the high share of nuclear power, they are forced to maneuver in terms of power, which adversely affects the fuel elements with possible consequences in the form of depressurization.

Oh, these tales, oh, these storytellers!
