STORYLINE
Over a year after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in Japan, the Chinese government conducted a rare visit for foreign journalists to the oldest commercial nuclear power plant in China.
Daya Bay nuclear power plant is located in Shenzhen, a Southern city in China, around 20 kilometres (12 miles) from Hong Kong.
The power plant, which makes use of French reactor technology and British turbine-generator equipment, supplies 70 percent of its electricity to Hong Kong and the other 30 percent to Guangdong province.
There are six nuclear reactors on the site.
On Wednesday, foreign media were allowed to visit the site for the first time since it began operations in 1994, but journalists were not permitted to film inside the nuclear reactors or other electricity facilities.
Questions regarding safety issues were also not allowed.
The majority of the visit was taken up with a prepared presentation by the management of the nuclear power station.
The management team insisted that they believe the nuclear power station is safe as it adheres to rigorously imposed standards.
"We impose a unified management principle of standards, requirements and methodology," said Deputy General Manager Wei Qinhua.
"Therefore we can optimise our allocation of resources to achieve the full ability of our economy scale, so that we can enhance our safety level as well as our economic return."
A safety drill for the Daya Bay power plant was held in Hong Kong last month.
The aim of the drill was to test the response capability of bureaux and departments involved in the event of an accident at the nuclear power plant.
