NUCLEAR RISKS: Taiwan is prone to earthquakes, and a nuclear plant would also be a dangerous target if China were to attack, Control Yuan member Eugene Jao saidBy Wu Su-wei and William Hetherington / Staff reporter, with staff writer
Taiwan has less funds available and less robust disaster-response procedures than Japan in the event of a nuclear disaster, Control Yuan member Tien Chiu-chin (田秋堇) said on Friday.
Tien made the comments while presenting the results of an assessment of the response measures and costs of a potential nuclear disaster in Taiwan, and compared the data with Japan’s response to the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant disaster on March 11, 2011.
Such a disaster at a Taiwanese nuclear power plant could require the resettlement of up to 10 million people, the report said.
