GeographySiu A Chau is the northernmost and the second largest of the Soko Islands, after Tai A Chau. It is dumbbell-shaped[2] and has a rugged indented coastline with steep slopes.[2] The highest point of the island is at 74 meters.[3] A beach lies to the south, and another to the north of the island.[3][4] HistoryIn 1937, Walter Schofield, then a Cadet Officer in the Hong Kong Civil Service, wrote that Siu A Chau was "another settlement of early man" and that it had a "fishing village of huts very different from ordinary Chinese dwellings" at the time of writing.[5] FeaturesThere is a temple on the south side of the island.[3] A low-level radioactive waste (LLRW) facility began operation at Siu A Chau in July 2005. Low-level radioactive wastes which had previously been stored in disused tunnels, two factories and five hospitals were subsequently transferred to the Siu A Chau facility.[6] Part of this waste was relocated from the disused Mount Parish air-raid tunnels at Queen's Road East, in Wan Chai. The 55 m3 of LLRW stored there had raised objections.[7][8] The opening ceremony of the facility was held in June 2006.[9] References1. ^Low Level Radioactive Waste Storage Facility at Siu A Chau.
