Exclusive》A fire broke out around Unit 1 of Nuclear Power Plant No. 3. The factory urgently clarified: The distance from the unit does not affect nuclear safety

A fire alarm broke out around the No. 3 Nuclear Power Plant in Hengchun, Pingtung, and many Hengchun-area fire trucks were dispatched for rescue. Since a related situation occurred at the No. 3 Nuclear Power Plant last year, many local residents were worried after the news came out. The No. 3 Nuclear Power Plant later clarified that the fire broke out due to unknown reasons in a garbage dump near Unit 1. It was far away from the core unit and did not affect nuclear energy safety at all.

The No. 3 Nuclear Power Plant stated that after the incident, the factory proactively notified the local government and relevant units as soon as possible, and assigned the factory fire brigade to cooperate with the local fire bureau to jointly carry out fire-fighting operations.

Compared with the delays in reporting or false information that have been criticized in the past, this timely and transparent handling process shows that the reporting mechanism has been significantly improved.

It is understood that the No. 3 Nuclear Power Plant is currently carrying out relevant overhaul and maintenance operations as planned to prepare for subsequent restarts in line with the government's energy policy. The factory also emphasized again that it will continue to strengthen environmental management and fire safety around the factory area to avoid similar incidents from happening again. Please rest assured.
