China's largest nuclear power company announced it would hold annual open house events every August 7 to make its operations more transparent.

The China General Nuclear Power Group (CGN), operator of the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant in Shenzhen in south China's Guangdong Province, said on August 7 the move will help boost public trust in the safety of nuclear power.

The 2011 leakage of radioactive material from the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan has raised concerns about nuclear safety in China.

A planned CGN nuclear fuel processing project in Guangdong's city of Heshan was cancelled in July due to opposition from local residents.

CGN supplies 53 percent of China's nuclear power. It is the largest builder of nuclear power plants in the world and its Daya Plant is currently China's largest.
