A violent explosion was suddenly heard during the trial test of the new Gas-fired Unit 2 of the Hsing-ta Power Plant in Yong'an District, Kaohsiung, with flames soaring and thick smoke blotting out the sun. The outer layers of two units were severely burned, with steel frames exposed, and the extent of damage to internal pipelines is yet to be investigated.
This article discusses the issue of nuclear waste disposal from nuclear power generation. The author believes that the safety of nuclear power plants is internationally recognized, and where to put nuclear waste is a political issue used by politicians for brainwashing. The article argues that nuclear waste, after safe encapsulation, can be directly stored within the power plant's internal space for at least 40 years, achieving self-storage of self-generated waste. The author further points out that the small quantity of nuclear waste, its isolability, and its future potential as fuel for next-generation nuclear technologies are advantages of nuclear power. It contrasts this with the unsealable nature and significant environmental impact of thermal power generation waste, emphasizing that nuclear energy is the true environmentally friendly green energy.
