As Japan's Unit 1 of the Genkai Nuclear Power Plant prepares to shut down in July, debates on its extension are ongoing. With both Taiwan and Japan vulnerable to earthquakes, the series investigates the risks posed by nuclear disasters and challenges related to power supply, energy security, carbon reduction, and prices. Initiated from the recent 7.0 earthquake in Japan, the series explores the issues around restarting nuclear plants and visits areas like Hengchun, where the Fukushima nuclear power plant is located. This is the first part of the series, which also examines the impact of the Noto Earthquake in January, highlighting the challenges faced and the nuclear risks exposed by earthquakes in the region.
