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.
