Nuclear power plants in Taiwan may have been leaking radioactive water three years, according to government watchdog released a report, adding a new nuclear power plant's fate uncertain.
From the storage pool two reactors, the first nuclear power plant, located in Shimen in a remote northern coastal location, but not far from the densely populated Taipei, has leaked toxic water, the watchdog said, called the control element.
Taiwan Power Company (Taipower), operating on the island of nuclear power plants, an official said, from the storage pool, the water did not come, but it may come from the condensed water is used to clean the floor.
"We explained the Control Yuan, but they refused. They let us see if any other cause," the official said. His condition of anonymity because the matter sensitive.
In any case, the water is collected in a database for the use of the nuclear rods and have been recycled back to the storage pool storage pool, so it will not cause a threat to the environment, the official.
Control Yuan said that there is an error, including the lack of an appropriate plan, how to deal with nuclear waste materials directory, and not believe Taipower explanation.
"The company has not yet clearly defined cause leakage," it said.
Resource-poor use of nuclear power in Taiwan has long been controversial, not only because the island is relatively small, any major nuclear accident could affect their entire land area.
Nuclear power accounted for 18.4% of electricity production.
Plans to build a nuclear power plant - near a Shimen - have been held for many years, has been subject to massive protests on the streets of the island.
Legislators scuffle broke out between the parliamentary debate this week on plants.
Currently, Taiwan has three operating nuclear power plants six reactors.
Taiwan also has a problem, what to do, its nuclear waste, which for many years was dumped on an island in the southeast coast, aboriginal inhabitants of anger.
