Since 1994, nuclear power generated at Daya Bay has enabled Hong Kong to enjoy energy security and affordable power. Nuclear power will continue to play a role in Hong Kong as the territory
aims to reduce the carbon intensity of its economy and meet its air-quality objectives. With nuclear power slated to remain a part of the territory′s energy mix, it is important that we have a good understanding of the safety procedures and the
system that is in place to inform the public of Daya Bay′s operation as it has implications to your daily life.
Find out what are the international best practices on nuclear safety reporting, how that system works around the world and
how it is implemented in Hong Kong and the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant.
