Taiwan leader says two nuclear power plants 'meet conditions' to restart
TAIPEI: Taiwan's President Lai Ching-te said Saturday (March 21) two nuclear power plants "meet the conditions for reactivation", as the energy import-dependent island moves to strengthen its domestic power generation capacity.
President Lai Ching-te stated on the 22nd that in the face of factors such as continued economic development and geopolitics, the government proposed restarting the nuclear power plants based on public opinion.
