Financial Analysis: Cost-Benefit of Restarting the Fourth Nuclear Power Plant and Returning Fuel Rods — Operation Will Improve Finances, Non-operation Will Bring Disaster to All

This article analyzes the financial issues of restarting the Fourth Nuclear Power Plant, claiming that the cost of shipping fuel rods and plant repair compared to the huge benefits of power generation is insignificant 'spare change.' If the Fourth Nuclear Power Plant enters commercial operation, it can generate revenue of 40 billion NTD annually, and the costs of plant construction and restart can be recovered within ten years, with subsequent power generation bringing huge net income. Conversely, if it is not operational, the country will immediately lose 280 billion NTD in construction costs, and an additional 40 billion NTD must be spent annually for alternative power generation such as gas or renewable energy, which is equivalent to losing one Fourth Nuclear Power Plant every seven years, leading to a national financial disaster.
