"EDF a été informée de l’augmentation de la concentration de certains gaz rares dans le circuit primaire du réacteur n°1 de la centrale nucléaire de Taishan."
-> "EDF has been informed of the increase in the concentration of certain rare gases in the primary circuit of reactor no.1 of the Taishan nuclear power plant"
"La présence de certains gaz rares dans le circuit primaire est un phénomène connu, étudié et prévu par les procédures d’exploitation des réacteurs." -> "The presence of certain rare gases in the primary circuit is a known phenomenon in the operating procedures of the reactors."
this actually makes me worry EVEN LESS, since it implies that the fission gas presence is fully contained to the primary containment vessel, & is just emerging from the reactor pressure vessel, i.e. any incident it implies would be contained to the primary containment vessel.

disclaimer: i know i'm not the target of this question (1) i'm as anti-CCP as it gets, 2) i am on record as saying i will happily DRINK a glass of the undiluted Fukushima wastewater & i stand by that), but let's take a look at the Framatome/Areva report.
i haven't been able to find the actual report they gave the US DoE, so right now i'm going by france24.com/fr/info-en-con… & edition.cnn.com/2021/06/14/pol… under the assumption that news agencies didn't fuck up interpreting the science.
(if anyone can find a copy of the official statement from Framatome i'd really like to read it. English or French is fine).
