Nuclear firm to boost safety amid typhoon threats

HANGZHOU -- The China National Nuclear Corporation has vowed improved safety measures for its nuclear plants in order to prevent potential damage from floods and typhoons.

Detailed measures included verifying design standards, strengthening dikes, building water-retaining walls and preparing more mobile generators as back-ups, company experts said Friday during an open house held at the Qinshan nuclear power plant.

The plant, located in east China's coastal Zhejiang province, went into operation in December 1991.http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/business/2012-08/18/content_15686090.htm
