(Observer.com) Two weeks ago, Taiwan Electric Power Company's Second Nuclear Power Plant (hereinafter referred to as " Nuclear Second Nuclear Power Plant ") skipped the plane, and then claimed that it was caused by "a rotating chair accidentally touching the instrument protection cover" in the control room.
htmlOn August 9, Taiwan's "Economic Committee of the Legislative Yuan" visited the Second Nuclear Plant. When asked to provide the monitor screen, the person in charge of said that it involved the privacy of the on-duty personnel, and the monitor did not turn on the video recording function at the time of the incident.This response aroused dissatisfaction among many Taiwanese "legislators", and some of them criticized that the second factory was not even as good as the convenience store, which was incredible. Some people question whether the statement "rotating chair accidentally touched" was to cover up the facts. The nuclear power control room did not record the video. "Do you believe it?"

On July 27, an emergency jump accident occurred in the nuclear plant No. 2, causing the No. 2 generator set to malfunction and the power supply decreased.
Taiwan's "Ministry of Economics" stated in the report that at around 6:30 am that day, the on-duty personnel on duty in the control room accidentally touched the acrylic protective cover while moving the seat, causing the main steam isolation valve to close. After power company , the overhaul unit has returned to the team. In addition, the water conditions have improved, the hydropower capacity has been provided. After the power jump, the power supply is safe on the same day, and the power supply remains stable.
electrical units explained that the main steam isolation valve functions similar to the valve. If the reactor is in a state, it can be further isolated from the unit, which is an important protection mechanism. However, the displacement of the acrylic protective cover of the main steam isolation valve switch caused the unit to be shut down. Tai Electric also proposed relevant improvement measures, such as the acrylic protective cover should be strengthened into a fixed type. The person in charge of nuclear power demonstrated that the incident happened
Comprehensive United News Network, China Times News Network and other Taiwanese media reported that two weeks after the incident (August 9), 15 "legislators" from the Taiwan "Economic Committee of the Legislative Yuan" went to the Second Nuclear Plant for inspection.
power station said that to avoid similar situations from happening again, a number of improvement measures have been made, including adding a control panel safety guard rod, adding an infrared intrusion sensor in the red line area, and changing the seat to a fixed type.
In addition, Tai Electric also specifically mentioned that the pulleys of the control room chair have been removed, and the chairs can only be fixed and will not slide anymore. The protective cover is also improved, and a magnetic acrylic protective cover is adopted.
Then at the symposium, several "legislators" asked TAIPO to provide surveillance videos to restore the accident scene.
In response to this, the person in charge of Taiwan Television replied that at the time of the incident, the monitor did not turn on the video recording function, because it involved the privacy of the on-duty personnel and was worried about the outflow of the images. However, there are videos at the entrance and exit, and you can call the entrance and exit video to find out the situation at that time.
This response aroused dissatisfaction among Taiwanese "legislators". Many people criticized it, and even convenience stores had videos, but there was no nuclear power control room, which was incredible.
Taiwan People's Party "legislator" Cai Biru posted on the Facebook account on the 9th, raising several questions about Taiwan Telecom.
He wrote that even convenience stores record videos 24 hours a day, and the nuclear power control room has no videos, "There is no more irritating." In addition, Taiwan Electric's statements are different. Before, someone sat on a rotating chair when the incident happened, and then changed his words and said that no one was sitting on it.
Cai Biru emphasized that only internal personnel know the truth best. Only open and transparent and speaking with evidence can the people feel at ease.
Qiu Xianzhi, a member of the "power of the times", also said that the statement "the rotating chair accidentally touched" "sounds very incredible." Regarding Taiwan Electric's statement that there was no video recording on the scene, he also questioned, "Do you believe there was no video recording?" "What a ridiculous reason! Can nuclear power safety be fooled like this?"
In addition, as early as last week, the Kuomintang's "Legislative Yuan" party group held a press conference on the incident of the Nuclear Factory 2 jumping off the plane, questioning the statement that "the rotating chair accidentally touched" was to cover up the facts and be afraid of being held accountable, and asked Taiwan Electric to give the public an explanation.
Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party and its supporters have been rendering nuclear power a flood and a beast for decades. Since 2013, an anti-nuclear marche has been staged in Taiwan every March. In order to achieve the goal of abolishing nuclear nuclear abortion, anti-nuclear personnel have even put forward the slogan of "using love to generate electricity."
The DPP authorities even advocated the gradual phase-out of nuclear power until the "non-nuclear home" is realized by 2025. However, in the face of the situation of power tension and increasingly serious air pollution on the island, the DPP authorities have made a "slap in the face" behavior: in 2018, they officially approved the application for power generation of the No. 2 Power Plant No. 2. Unit 2 of
nuclear plant was operated in 1983 and is scheduled to be decommissioned in 2023. It was shut down for about 600 days after a jump accident in 2016.
According to public information, the nuclear power plants currently operating in TaiPhone include nuclear 2 and nuclear 3 plants. Among them, the No. 21 nuclear power unit was decommissioned and shut down in June this year. During the failure of Unit 2 in July this year, only two units of the No. 3 nuclear power unit were operating.
