Yangjiang Nuclear Power Plant Operator

Nuclear power is an efficient, clean and safe energy source. The radiation impact of the operation of nuclear power plants on surrounding residents is far lower than natural radiation and can be said to be minimal. Monitoring data from 10 monitoring stations within a 10-kilometer radius of the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Base showed that the environmental radioactivity level of the nuclear power plant has not changed compared with the original data before operation. As for the treatment of three wastes from nuclear power plants, it is reported that the amount of waste produced by nuclear power plants is very small, only one hundred thousandth of that of thermal power plants of the same size. The principle of three waste emissions from nuclear power plants is to recycle them as much as possible and reduce emissions to a minimum. Solid waste in nuclear power plants is not discharged to the environment at all, and liquid waste with high radioactive activity is not discharged when converted into solid waste. Low-level radioactive wastewater such as staff shower water is treated and inspected before being discharged. The gaseous waste will be discharged to high altitude after being processed and tested to be qualified.

But the consequences of a nuclear power plant leak are unimaginable.
