Despite the alarming notification from Framatome, the French company, the Biden administration believes the facility is not yet at a "crisis level," one of the sources said.

Damn, Beijing Biden bowing down.

No, but I'd be much worried about U.S. friendly territories like Hong Kong, Taiwan, and depending on the radius of the fallout, the Philippines.

Of course. But fusion is kinda really hard.

I'm going to go ahead and get this out of the way, because some one out there, is going to legitimately think this.

"This is karma for Pearl Harbor."

Numerous said it for Fukushima Daiichi, and we all know there's cartographically challenged folk that think China and Japan are the same.

Geniunely though, it sounds completely normal, everything is fine comrade.

Not really. You can build a fusor mostly out of parts from your local hardware store.

The problem is, getting the reaction to sustain itself and then some, while keeping all those stray neutrons from rotting out the reactor vessel.

The biggest problem is that it's impossible to extract more energy from that reaction than it takes to cause the reaction.

That and diminishing returns. Someone will solve it someday, and it'll probably be something basic thats been overlooked lol

This is such a weird story. So a French nuclear company, mostly owned by the French govt, built and maintains a nuclear power plant in Guangdong and instead of going to the French or Chinese government for assistance in maintaining proper safety standards they go to the US?

I don't know anything about "nuclear business" or what have you but is this a normal thing?

The Chinese government said "what problem?" and fudged the numbers. French government is likely in no position to actually do anything about it.
Contacting the US gets it public, as the only reason they'd do so makes it very easy to extrapolate the details.

Oh, don't worry, as we learned from the COVID outbreak, some international agency monitoring this sort of stuff is going to give them the green-light (thanks to a well-placed bribe or two).

The warning included an accusation that the Chinese safety authority was raising the acceptable limits for radiation detection outside the Taishan Nuclear Power Plant in Guangdong province in order to avoid having to shut it down, according to a letter from the French company to the US Department of Energy obtained by CNN.

It's a truth universally acknowledged that when governments face a problem, their easiest course of action is redefine what a problem is so it no meets that threshold.
