Lam's comments came a day after the French joint operator of the Taishan Nuclear Power Plant in the city of Guangdong said it was dealing with a “performance issue” at the plant, but that it was operating within safety parameters.
The company statement followed media reports that the plant could be experiencing a leak.
The plant is about 135 kilometers (85 miles) from Hong Kong, meaning a potential leak could impact the financial hub.
CNN reported Monday that Framotome had written to the U.S. Department of Energy warning of an “imminent radiological threat” and accusing Chinese authorities of raising acceptable limits for radiation outside the plant to avoid having to shut it down.
