Taiwan looks at halting construction of 4th nuclear plant

Taiwan Premier Jiang Yi-huah said Monday the administration is willing to accept the outcome of a referendum on stopping construction of the island's fourth nuclear power plant.

The move signifies a dramatic change in the administration's nuclear policy as President Ma Ying-jeou has said he hopes to see the first reactor of the facility become operational by 2014 and the first nuclear power station of the three existing facilities could be decommissioned ahead of time if the two reactors at the fourth nuclear plant can supply power in a stable manner before 2016.
