HONG KONG (AP) — China’s government says no abnormal radiation has been detected outside a nuclear power plant near Hong Kong following a news report of a leak, while Hong Kong’s leader says her administration is closely watching the facility. A French company that helps manage the facility in Taishan in Guangdong province said it is dealing with a “performance issue.” It says the facility is operating within safe limits. The operators have released few details, but nuclear experts say that based on their brief public statement, gas might be leaking from fuel rods inside a reactor.
