Police face off with demonstrators protesting plans for a nuclear facility in Jiangmen, Guangdong province, July 12, 2013.

Authorities in southern China say they have canceled a plan to build a nuclear fuel processing plant following protests by local residents.

The city government of Heshan in Guangdong province said in a statement Saturday that it would halt the $6 billion project by the China National Nuclear Corporation for facilities that would convert and enrich uranium for the manufacture of nuclear fuel.

Mayor Wu Yuxion said the Heshan government respects the public＇s opinion and will not apply for approval for the project.

The move came after hundreds of people took part in a demonstration in the nearby city of Jiangmen on Friday to protest construction of the plant. The opposition came mainly because of concerns about safety and nuclear radiation.
