AP: China Opens Nuclear Power Plant to Public

From the AP:

BEIJING: China has opened up its largest nuclear power plant to the public, state media said Sunday.

Amid booming economic growth, China plans to build dozens of nuclear power plants in the coming years to ease mounting power shortages, and Xinhua News Agency said opening up the Daya Bay plant in Guangdong province would allow the public to learn about power generation and safety issues.

I think this is a good thing. For more information about the plant in question, click here.
