Taishan Nuclear Power Plant, in southern China, has been leaking radioactive gas for two weeks and is at risk of becoming a disaster, US intelligence agencies have privately warned
* French energy firm that co-owns Taishan Nuclear Power Plant in southern China warned US intelligence two weeks ago that it was leaking radioactive gas
* America has reviewed the situation and concluded it could turn into a disaster
* But they believe situation is not yet at 'crisis level' and it may still be resolved
* Chinese state firm which owns plant insisted Sunday that everything is 'normal'
A Chinese nuclear power station is leaking radioactive gas and could become a major disaster, according to secret US intelligence reports.
Taishan Nuclear Power Plant, located in southern Guangdong province, is thought to have been leaking for at least two weeks after a French firm that co-owns the facility flagged the issue to Washington.
American agents have spent the last week monitoring the situation and have concluded it has the potential turn into a major disaster but that facility is not currently at 'crisis level'.
That is in stark contrast to the message being put out by the power plant's Chinese state owners, who insisted in a report published Sunday that everything is 'normal'.

There is a lot of conflicting news on this story, and China is not being forthcoming. I suspect that everyone with a Geiger counter in the region is now monitoring the situation.
