No explosion at Daya Bay Nuclear Power Station: Security Bureau

The Security Bureau said no explosion had occurred at the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Station.

The statement came early Wednesday in response to media inquiries about rumors on social media claiming that an explosion had occurred at the power station.

A bureau spokesman clarified that no notification has been received from the relevant Mainland authorities.

“After verification with the Nuclear Emergency Committee Office of the Guangdong Province, it is confirmed that the nuclear power station is operating normally. Such a rumor is totally groundless and fictitious,” the statement read.

The spokesman, meanwhile, appealed to members of the public to pay attention to announcements released through government official channels and should not believe any rumor lightly.
