China's nuclear plants operate optimally

The current status of the Taishan Nuclear Power Plant in Taishan, South China's Guangdong Province meets technical specification requirements, and no abnormal radioactive indicators have been recorded, said the Foreign Ministry on Tuesday, in response to a report warning an "imminent radiological threat."

The US government was assessing a report of a leak at the Taishan Nuclear Power Plant by Framatome, a subsidiary of French energy giant Électricité de France (EDF). The Taishan plant is a joint venture between EDF and China General Nuclear Power Group (CGN).
