Radiation leak at China’s Taishan Nuclear Plant

The transcript discusses a radiation issue at the Tai Shan nuclear plant in China's Guangdong province. A memo from French company Atone, part-owner of the plant, accuses China's National Nuclear Safety Administration of raising acceptable radiation limits to avoid shutdown. EDF, Atone's parent company, reports increased xenon and krypton gas levels due to fuel rod housing degradation. Tai Shan, the first plant with a next-gen EPR reactor, has faced delays and issues. As of May 30th, radiation levels reached 90% of the revised limit, with potential further regulatory changes being considered.
