Hong Kong’s leader said on Tuesday her government is closely watching a nearby Chinese nuclear power plant following a news report that it might be leaking.
The plant’s operators have released few details, but nuclear experts say based on their brief public statement, the facility might be suffering a leak of gas from fuel rods inside a reactor. Government data showed radiation levels in Hong Kong were normal on Monday night, Chief Executive Carrie Lam said. Data on Tuesday from the Hong Kong Observatory showed radiation still normal.
