Zhejiang's Qinshan Nuclear Power Station, the first one built by China, publicized the first monitoring statement of the second quarter of 2000 on the surrounding environment in the middle of August. In the future, the station will publicize the statement of the routine monitoring figures in the second month of every quarter on the "Haiyan Daily". Before this, they only reported the results to the local government.

It was said that five monitoring points were established within 2.5 kilometers radii surrounding the nuclear power station. Around-the-clock automatic monitoring of the environmental radiation will be provided.
