China Light & Power Company, one of Hong Kong‘s two power suppliers, confirmed that a small rise in radioactivity was detected in the cooling water of Daya Bay nuclear power plant's No. 2 reactor on May 23, but it had no impact on the public or the operation of the facility. The preliminary assessment has indicated that a "very small" amount of radioactive material escaped from a fuel rod. A task group is investigating and monitoring the situation.
