【Taiwan】４ｔｈ nuclear power plant's start date delayed

Plant’s start date delayed
The date for the fourth nuclear power plant to begin commercial operations will be pushed back another year, mainly because of problems with the plant’s instrumentation and control system, state-owned Taiwan Power Company (Taipower) said yesterday. Work on the No. 1 generator at the plant is almost finished and it is being tested, the company said. The No. 1 generator was scheduled to begin commercial operations on Dec. 15 this year and the No. 2 generator in December next year. However, Taipower chairman Chen Kuei-ming (陳貴明) said in a meeting of the Legislative Yuan’s Economics Committee that the No. 1 generator probably will not begin commercial operations until late next year because there are still some problems with its instrumentation and control system that have not been fixed. This marks the fifth time that the date for commercial operations of the fourth nuclear power plant has been postponed.
