Lol... Actually if Taiwan nuclear power 2 is gone, we have a ELE, they can also write human history by destroying the world! This won't happen because it's unimaginable. |

If the bolts fail to work, the worse scenario is failure to insert the control rods! Then we have a nuclear reactor that cannot be shutdown! Cool? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 14504830 ... If control rods cannot be inserted because of a slight geometry change, I would guess that pouring in powered control-rod material or other neutron absorbent material through a flexible hose snaked into the opening for each control rod would work to some degree -- anyone have a knowledgeable opinion about this? |

It could be very bad for the Taiwanese People, they cant (or don't want) to return to China and Taiwan is even smaller that Honshu! Ya, right. But you may not know that many (I mean MANY) wealthy Taiwanese are also American citizens. Life will find a way. Actually I don't feel things will go bad now. I just wonder how few people are aware of this danger. In a report of Nature journal, two of the three most dangerous nuke power plants in the world are located in Taiwan, a small island. The 4 nuclear power plants in Taiwan (three operating, one constructing) are all related to an American construction giant Bechtel, who won many contracts in post-war Iraq. Bechtel joined venture with a construction company owned by KMT, who lost China but is still the wealthiest party in the world, to build these nuclear plants. Nuclear power plants are very expensive to build, which means a lot of money to make. The politicians seem to put money above the interest of nation. |

"Seem to" doesn't describe it really ... isn't your immediate past PM in jail for corruption? Yes, he steals 10~20 million dollars. He is not KMT. In 2000, he tried to stop the construction of Nuclear power 4, which would cost more than 100 billions USD. This really pissed off KMT. After his terms finished, he went to jail directly. 100 billions USD is quite some money. |

Atom-Boy User ID: 13269131 Japan 04/17/2012 01:44 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Taipower survey raises concerns about nuclear storage site A geological survey conducted by Taiwan Power Co. in a remote part of the eastern county of Hualien has caused concerns about plans for a permanent nuclear waste storage facility. Lawmakers demanded an explanation from the Atomic Energy Council April 16 following reports that the survey had been under way for some time in Xiulin Township without the local government or residents having been informed. Aboriginal legislators Lin Cheng-er and Kung Wen-chi called on Taipower to abide by the Indigenous Peoples Basic Act. The area is home to the Truku and Sedig peoples, whose consent should be obtained before a development project is allowed to proceed, they said. [link to www.taiwantoday.tw] The Truku and Sedig People are the Aboriginals and very different than the Chinese-Taiwanese! Broken bolts shut nuclear reactor Taiwan Power Co (Taipower), the operator of the nation’s nuclear power plants, said yesterday it has finished replacing and repairing six anchor bolts after local media reported that seven anchor bolts of the first reactor at the Guosheng Nuclear Power Plant in Wanli District (萬里), New Taipei City (新北市), were found to be fractured or cracked during annual maintenance last month. Because the seventh anchor bolt interferes with other devices on site, it will be necessary to use alternative means to repair it, and its replacement has been scheduled for inclusion in the next major rehabilitation project, Taipower said. The first reactor, which began commercial operation in 1981, was temporarily shut down on March 16 for routine maintenance. Earlier this month local media revealed that one of the anchor bolts was broken, two fractured, and four cracked. The report was later confirmed by Taipower [link to www.taipeitimes.com] Last Edited by The real and almighty Atom-Boy on 04/17/2012 01:46 PM G.Y.!B.E. |

Remember Ferdinand Marcos? He took 80 millions USD as commission for Nuclear Power in Philippines. This was huge money at that time. Maybe it's how elites sell nuke power to developing countries. |

No matter in Fukushima and Taiwan, these spent fuel are all not protected by containment vessel. They are for "temporary" storage in GE's original design. |
