Notes from central Taiwan: Taiwan’s spent nuclear fuel problem
In the first of a two-part interview, Rene Vienet discusses the role he played in the development of the nation’s nuclear power
By Michael Turton / Contributing reporter
I spent this week chatting online with French film-maker, publisher and historian Rene Vienet, who began his two decades of involvement with Taiwan’s nuclear power program in the late 1970s as the representative for the French nuclear firm Cogema (today known as Orano).
We discussed his work in Taiwan over the years, and the tough decisions involving spent nuclear fuel currently facing Taiwan’s policymakers. The second part of the interview will appear on March 22. The interview has been condensed and edited for clarity.

falling US import orders BEIJING: Many Chinese cheered along with the rest of the world when Barack Obama became the first African- American to be elected president. “This really makes history,” said Li Bo, a software consultant, at a jubilant American Chamber of Commerce election party in a Beijing hotel. “I’m proud for America. I’m proud for the American people’s choice.” And that’s despite the fact that Li was wearing a McCain sticker and voted for John McCain in the mock election at this party, which Obama won handily. Li said his preference for McCain was because Obama had been making protectionist noises in the final weeks of the campaign.
