What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Taiwan is preparing to reverse its policy of phasing out nuclear power, with the Maanshan Nuclear Power Plant potentially resuming generation as early as 2028. This decision follows a review by Taiwan's Nuclear Safety Commission of plans to restart a reactor shut down in May 2025. Experts attribute the shift in public sentiment to surging electricity demand from the semiconductor and artificial intelligence industries.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The renewed debate over nuclear power in Taiwan is influenced by lessons from the Fukushima disaster. Tsung-Kuang Yeh, dean of the College of Nuclear Science at National Tsing Hua University, stated that the shift in public mood stems from concerns over energy security and the need for a stable electricity supply to support local industry development.

The lessons from the Fukushima disaster are informing a global debate about nuclear safety, leading to calls for European nuclear reliance amid the threat from Iran.
