Taiwan's Nuclear Safety Commission Completes Compliance Review of Maanshan Nuclear Power Plant "Restart Plan"
On September 24, 2026, the Nuclear Safety Commission of the Taiwan region of China officially completed and approved the review of the restart plan for the Maanshan Nuclear Power Plant (the Third Nuclear Power Plant). The Nuclear Safety Commission (referred to as the NSC), Taiwan's nuclear safety regulatory body, officially announced the completion and approval of the review of the restart plan submitted by Taiwan Power Company (Taipower) for the Maanshan Nuclear Power Plant (the Third Nuclear Power Plant). This move marks a key step for the Maanshan Nuclear Power Plant units in the contest between decommissioning and shutdown versus evaluation for life extension. However, the NSC emphasized that this approval only represents recognition of the plan's content at the current stage. For the units to actually restart, they must still pass multiple stringent engineering self-inspections, on-site reviews, and statutory approval procedures. The NSC...

Taiwan plans to include small modular reactors and nuclear fusion in new energy exploration
Taiwan's administrative agency head Cho Jung-tai stated on August 26 that, in response to the rapid global development of energy technologies, Taiwan maintains an open attitude toward new nuclear energy technologies and has gradually invested in research and evaluation of directions such as small modular reactors (SMRs) and nuclear fusion. Relevant budgets have been included in discussions, and the central government's general budget for the next fiscal year also plans to allocate funds for engaging with and tracking global nuclear fusion technology progress. Cho Jung-tai stated at a new energy forum that day that, for Taiwan, energy types that have not yet entered large-scale commercial application or whose research and development technologies are still immature can all be regarded as targets for new energy exploration. In addition to technologies such as geothermal, small hydropower, and hydrogen energy, new nuclear energy has also been listed as a direction for future sustained observation and research...
