有福島前車之鑑後，外媒很難不關注台山核電廠的後續發展。
“However, concern was significant enough that the National Security Council held multiple meetings last week as they monitored the situation, including two at the deputy level and another gathering at the assistant secretary level on Friday, which was led by NSC Senior Director for China Laura Rosenberger and Senior Director for Arms Control Mallory Stewart, according to US officials.
The Biden administration has discussed the situation with the French government and their own experts at the Department of Energy, sources said. The US has also been in contact with the Chinese government, US officials said, though the extent of that contact is unclear.“

“法國原子能公司先是於5月底聯繫美國能源部，告知台山核電廠有潛在問題，接著在本月3日提出營運安全協助請求，正式要求允許他們分享美國技術援助以解決緊急安全事態，同時告知美國官員，反應爐正在外洩裂變氣體。
之後，根據CNN取得的備忘錄，法國原子能公司於本月8日進一步聯繫能源部，要求加速審查這項請求，內文提到：「現況對廠址和大眾而言是迫切的輻射威脅，法國原子能公司緊急要求技術資料轉移和協助的許可，好讓電廠恢復正常運作。」
CNN報導，文件還顯示，法國原子能公司向美國能源部求援，是因為中國政府機關持續提高這座電廠在不關閉的條件下可安全釋出氣體的上限。美國能源部並未直接回應相關說法。”
WSJ提及外洩氣體是氙和氪:
[ EDF engineers said it was too early to say whether the plant would need to be taken offline in order to fix the issue. The gases, xenon and krypton, dissolve in the water that is found in the primary circuit, according to one of the EDF engineers, and their concentration is tightly controlled to ensure the safety of workers who conduct maintenance operations.
The presence of the gases in the primary circuit was a “known phenomenon, studied and provided for in the reactor operating procedures,” EDF said. ]
