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.
