Taiwan nuclear plant under fire

  • 25/12/1999

Aoti Village is a warren of rundown buildings with a fine beach, fresh seafood, quiet streets, picturesque hills-and two massive concrete holes in the ground that most residents don't want.It's the construction site of Taiwan's fourth nuclear plant, which has sparked intense debate as newly elected President Chen Shui-bian tries to decide whether he'll honor a campaign pledge and spike the project that's about one-third finished. A final decision is expected by the end of the month after a special economic committee announces its recommendation.
