Taiwan’s government said it would halt construction of a nuclear power plant to quell protestors.
A government official said lawmakers agreed that after the safety inspection was completed for Unit 1, it would be sealed off and would not go into operation, according to The Wall Street Journal. All work on Unit 2 would be stopped immediately. The announcement came after protestors gathered in Taipei demanding the government to move away from nuclear power.
The government said it would shut the country’s three existing nuclear plants by 2025, with the plant currently under construction to be decommissioned by 2050, the article said.
