The government has no plans to activate the country’s fourth nuclear power plant. That’s

the word from Cabinet spokesperson Hsu Kuo-yung on Thursday.

The plant, located on the New Taipei coast, has never come online. When nearing completion, it was mothballed in July 2015 in response to public opposition to nuclear power. The period for mothballing the plant expires at the end of the year.

Hsu said the state-owned power company Taipower and the economics ministry have met to decide the future of the plant. But Hsu said the plant will never be activated.    [FULL  STORY]
