Abnormal Power Supply After Nuclear Power Decommissioning, Fire Alarm Occurred at Taiwan Cement Hualien Plant

Taiwan's No.3 Nuclear Power Plant has been out of service recently, and Taiwan has entered the so-called "non-nuclear homeland" period. After the shutdown of the nuclear power plant, many places in Taitung, Tainan, and Kaohsiung experienced successive blackouts and power outages. The

factory continued to emit thick black smoke into the sky, and explosions were heard from time to time. Recently, a fire broke out at the entrance of the sawdust belt in the alternative fuel system at the Heping plant of Taiwan Cement Corporation in Hualien after the power supply of Taipower was abnormally tripped. The factory immediately launched fire fighting and rescue, but fortunately no casualties were caused. Wen Tsung-hao, deputy chief of the First Brigade of the Hualien Fire Department in

Taiwan, said that in their factory area, because there was a power outage, after the power outage, they began to smolder at the fuel delivery port. Just a few days after the shutdown of the

nuclear power plant, a power outage occurred in the Taiwan Cement Plant, causing a fire, which also raised doubts about the lack of power supply in the industrial plant after the shutdown of the nuclear power plant. Coincidentally, on the 18th and 19th, power outages occurred in Taitung County and Tainan City. For the above several blackouts, Taipower said that it may be caused by birds and animals touching the wires. Netizens on the island have left messages mocking that every time Taipower has a power outage, it throws the pot to small animals.
