Pourquoi c'est important
Taiwan's ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) legislators are questioning the Nuclear Safety Commission about security measures for nuclear power plants, especially in light of recent international drone attacks on such facilities and the potential for nuclear restarts following legislative changes.

隨藍白主導的立院通過「核管法」將重啟核電，民進黨立委吳沛憶、吳思瑤指出，隨近期國際戰爭頻有無人機攻擊核電廠為手段威脅民眾安全，關切核安會是否擬定相關保安防恐演練，核安會今（25日）回應，已將相關應對措施納入核子保安計畫，並有防護行動演練。
立院教育文化委員會今審查核安會預算，吳沛憶質詢時指出，日前阿聯核電廠遭到無人機攻擊，該核電廠本身反應爐儲存有數千公斤的核燃料，若被攻擊命中，就會導致有大量輻射釋放到環境，若攻擊到發電機，可能還會導致核電廠冷卻系統中斷，最後導致反應爐的核心熔毀，國際原子能總署也示警，若發生最壞的情況，數公里甚至數百公里內的居民都要疏散跟安置，台灣面對這類無人機恐怖攻擊是否會有保安防恐相關演練。
核安會主委陳明真表示目前已有擬訂相關計畫，核安會保安應變組組長林貞絢進一步說明，相關推演都有納入無人機應對，核子保安計畫也會盤點應對措施並精進，若發生核子事故後的疏散也有擬訂緊急應變計畫，地方政府如新北市和基隆市等都有依照村里劃設不同的路線，如基隆就是會疏散到核電廠16公里外等。
吳思瑤則於質詢時指出，隨核三廠2號機在去年5月17日正式除役後，國內邁入非核家園已經373天，今天台電顯示的預估尖峰備轉容量率則有23.54%，呈現綠燈的供電充裕狀態，但隨立院立法通過核管法，若要重啟核設施，又考量地緣政治的風險，事實上戰時核設施恐怕會面臨砲火攻擊威脅、電力中斷風險、燃料冷卻池風險等，也認為面對中國潛在風險，應該要有跨部門的危機應變機制。
Questions ouvertes
- What specific anti-terrorism drills are in place to counter drone attacks on nuclear facilities?
- What is the detailed plan for evacuating residents in case of a nuclear accident caused by an attack?
- How will a cross-departmental crisis response mechanism be established to address potential risks from China?
- What are the timelines and specific plans for any potential nuclear facility restarts?
