Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) legislative caucus Secretary-General Wu Si-yao reiterated that the amendment proposed by the Kuomintang legislative caucus to extend the operation of nuclear power plants should not sacrifice nuclear safety discussions, as it aims to remove the mandatory safety preparation period before decommissioning. The DPP outlined three prerequisites for considering nuclear restart or extension: safety assurance, proper nuclear waste disposal, and societal consensus. DPP lawmakers voiced concerns over the amendment's potential impact on safety and urged for careful consideration in handling nuclear-related legislation and consensus-building efforts.
