Taiwan May Reactivate Nuclear Plants in Event of China Blockade
Taiwan plans to preserve its idle nuclear power plants in order to ensure their readiness for reactivation in case of an emergency, including a potential naval blockade by China, a lawmaker said on May 28. Vice President Lai Ching-te was responding to a question posed during the National Taiwan University forum about how the self-ruled island would react if cross-strait tensions obstructed its natural gas imports, Taiwan News reported. “Under such circumstances, relevant offices are planning how to maintain plants that have already been shut down for possible future use if it becomes necessary in an emergency,” said Lai, the ruling Democratic Progressive Party’s (DPP) presidential candidate.

【譯文】中共封鎖下 臺灣可重啟核電
5月28日，臺灣立法委員表示，臺灣計畫保留閒置核電廠，以確保在緊急情況下可重新啟動。例如，中共封鎖臺灣海域。
據臺灣新聞報導，副總統賴清德在國立臺灣大學論壇上回應提問：如果海峽局勢緊張，阻擋了天然氣進口，臺灣將如何應對？
「相關部門正在就此情況討論，如何維護已關閉的核電廠，在未來緊急情況下使用，以備不時之需。」執政民進黨總統候選人賴表示。

【慎思明辨】
您可以針對以下議題進行論述，甚至寫一篇英文短文，練習英文寫作或口語表達。
*您認為賴清德此番言論，可解讀為「非核鬆動」，政策髮夾彎嗎？如果臺灣真的有一天遭中共封鎖，您樂見的供電做法是什麼？
*根據2022年臺灣發電占比，燃氣43%、燃煤35%、再生能源8.6%、核能9%；核能發電已從1990年代的38%降至相對低點。請問您支持什麼樣的發電模式，原因為何？◇
