As the Year of the Snake approaches and families gather to celebrate, the Nuclear Safety Commission (NSC) remains committed to monitoring and supervising the safety of nuclear power plants (NPPs) throughout the Lunar New Year holidays.
Currently, the Chinshan NPP, Kuosheng NPP, and Maanshan NPP Unit 1 have entered the decommissioning phase, while Maanshan NPP Unit 2 remains in stable operation. The regulatory status of NPPs decommissioning are outlined as follows:
For the Chinshan NPP:
The NSC continues to oversee TPC's implementation of decommissioning activities in accordance with the approved decommissioning plan.
For the Kuosheng NPP:
The NSC has completed the review of the decommissioning plan. The decommissioning permit will be issued upon TPC's submission of the environmental impact assessment report approved by the Ministry of Environment and other required documentation.
For the Maanshan NPP:
The operating license for Unit 1 expired in July 2024, and the license for Unit 2 will expire in May 2025. The NSC completed its review of the decommissioning plan in April 2023. The decommissioning permit will be issued upon TPC's submission of the environmental impact assessment report approved by the Ministry of Environment and other required documentation.
The public can access detailed information on these matters on the NSC website (https://www.nusc.gov.tw/).
Nuclear safety oversight never takes a break. During the Lunar New Year period, the NSC keeps its professional commitment to monitor both operational and decommissioning NPPs, ensuring public safety so that citizens can celebrate the New Year Holidays with peace of mind.
Happy Lunar New Year!
