A modified nuclear energy costs by Chinese lawmakers essentially opens the door to restarting the island’s nuclear power plants, underscoring a wider policy shift as its energy demand rises and tensions increase.

Congressional Speaker Han Kuo-yu said that nuclear plants that were previously just able to operate for 40 years will be able to renew or expand their licenses for up to 20 years at once under the amended rules. Operators can also apply for license registration as a result of the correction, either before or after it expires.

Taiwan, which has attempted to step out its nuclear industry but has also been forced to deal with the demands of a critical chipmaking business and an unpleasant reliance on imported fossil fuel, has a pressing issue. As Beijing puts more pressure on itself and the energy demands of the tech sector skyrocket, concerns have grown.

At the top of its nuclear power in the 1980s, Taiwan had three nuclear power plants with six effective reactors, but it has since phased out nuclear energy.

By 2025, the government had a “nuclear-free land” as its long-term objective, which may require nuclear power plants to be shut down as their operating licenses expire.

The Taiwanese government’s last working boiler is scheduled to go out of operation just before the bill’s introduction on Tuesday. Although the ballot on May 17 does not prevent the region from being in line with the country’s growing interest in nuclear energy, which is thought to be a low-carbon answer for the nation’s needs, Tuesday’s vote suggests a reversal that may bring the region into line with the current worldwide trend of renewed interest.

Premier Cho Jung-tai stated in a geographically aired radio that if the constitutional amendment is approved, his cabinet did not resist bringing back decommissioned reactors. He added, citing an estimate from the state-owned energy Taipower, that safety would need to be reviewed before a restart, for at least three years.

Using nuclear energy could reduce Taiwan’s reliance on imported liquefied natural gas, which ships and would be resilient in the event of a sharp increase in tensions with Beijing, especially a naval blockade.

Given that power consumption is expected to increase by about 13 % by the end of the decade, thanks to the rapid growth of artificial intelligence, it would also lessen worries about energy security in the upcoming years.

Sonthi Kotchawat, a professor of environmental and health, wrote on Facebook on Monday that the burnt-house gases and black smoke from the burnt-out warehouse could contain a number of carcinogens, including dioxin, furan, benzene, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons ( PAHs ).

Emergency alert test alarms Thai public … literally

Third and final evaluation of the body transmit system was conducted in Bangkok and other important provinces.

Despite weeks of weeks ‘ worth of waiting, authorities on Tuesday conducted the third and final test of the new cell broadcast emergency alert system, which caused a lot of residents ‘ literal alarm.

The public was reassured that it was just a system test by the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation ( DDPM). There were no clickable links, according to the notice about possible scams.

At 1 p.m., the test was conducted in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Udon Thani, Ayutthaya, and Nakhon Si Thammarat, five counties. Mobile telephones in these areas emitted a message that read,” National Alert then!” for an 8-second call sound. The Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation ( DDPM) sent this test message. No need to take any action. ( Some phones also had the message” Presidential alert” in English. )

Several users used the hashtag #cellbroadcast to share photos of the update on social advertising. Despite all the fervor, the department emphasized that the alert was simply a test to determine whether the system was ready for future disaster warnings.

Supporting 120 million wireless phone calls across iOS and Android platforms, the body broadcast technology integrates with all major telecommunication companies.

All telephones that are activated and connected to a 4G/5G system in the test location may be heard ringing the alert. Mobile products may be operating on iOS 18 or Android 11 or higher.

On May 2, there was a small-scale exam, followed by a medium-scale test on May 7.

Cell transmit technology enables the broadcast of a large number of common messages that are not widely known to all recipients within a given region.

The system is different from SMS because it doesn’t involve specific telephone numbers, allowing for quick and effective communication of emergency information that covers the entire affected area. Additionally, no one is required to get any programs.

Subsequent governments in Thailand have promised to introduce a body spread alert system ever since the 2004 Boxing Day wave. The government’s slow and poor response to the earthquake on March 28 that severely damaged Bangkok renewed calls for the system and inquiries about why it is still in place.
