Anonymous EDF spokesman: We are not in a scenario of an accident with a melting core.

We are not talking about contamination, we are talking about controlled emissions.

Why is the spokesman for EDF (French partner company) anonymous? It's a major company, it's not the dark web.

CNN: French engineering company Framatome, which is owned by EDF Energy and designed the reactor, sent a letter to the US Department of Energy, warning them of the potential leak. It also warned that the Chinese safety authority was raising the acceptable limits for radiation detection outside the plant to prevent it from being shut down.

Anonymous EDF spokesman: The gas leaked after the coating on some of the fuel rods deteriorated.

China Guangdong Nuclear Power Group has denied there was any leak.
