WHO Scientific Data Warning: Coal-Fired Power Kills 2,500 Times More Than Nuclear Power — Comparing Health Risks of Nuclear and Other Power Generation Methods

This article cites World Health Organization (WHO) research data comparing the fatality rates to humans from different power generation methods for every billion kilowatt-hours of electricity produced. Data shows that coal-fired power (100 deaths) is significantly higher than nuclear power (0.04 deaths), natural gas (4 deaths), and wind power (0.15 deaths). The article emphasizes that the fatality rate of coal power is 2,500 times that of nuclear power, and uses this to advocate for restarting the Fourth Nuclear Power Plant to reduce annual deaths caused by coal burning.

💡 How Long Does It Take to Restart and Commercially Operate Nuclear Power Plant No. 4? Analyzing Preparation Time and Funding for Units 1 and 2 from Taipower's Internal Report

This article analyzes the time and cost required for Nuclear Power Plant No. 4 to restart and operate commercially, presented in a Q&A format. According to a newly leaked 2019 Taipower internal report, Unit 1 of Nuclear Power Plant No. 4 only needs 3-4 years to become commercially operational, requiring approximately NT$18 billion in funding. Unit 2 needs 5.5 years to complete its ongoing construction, requiring approximately NT$32 billion. The author argues that Nuclear Power Plant No. 4 only needs to be restarted, and believes that as long as safety inspections pass, political or interest groups should no longer find excuses to obstruct its activation.
