Zhang Boting, deputy secretary general of China Society for Hydropower Engineering, said the world’s largest hydroelectric dam, located on the Yangtze River, had been designed as a concrete gravity dam, so that it was sturdier and would be resistant to nuclear attack, the news website Thepaper.cn in a report on Monday.The dam would not collapse even after a massive attack, the website quoted Zhang as saying.
Zhang also said in views, which first appeared in a commentary on the society’s website on March 8, that there had been a wrong perception among some nuclear experts, who had argued that national security had not been a concern during the design process of the Three Gorges Dam project.
