Terry Gou backpedals on plans to restart fourth reactor

TAIPEI (TVBS News) — Founder of Hon Hai Terry Gou, pursuing KMT presidential nomination, officially clarifies that he does not support the restart of the fourth nuclear power plant in a meeting held by the Council for Industrial & Commercial Development in Taipei on Wednesday (May 3).

Gou has previously suggested setting up small-scale nuclear plants across Taiwan. "Over the past two days, I have been made aware of numerous reports and discussions regarding my previous statement, and I must admit that I am taken aback," said Gou. 

After some suggested that the media has distorted his intended meaning, Gou pointed out, "I recognize that I may have misspoken and wish to address the matter directly. I do not support restarting the fourth reactor as it would be an uneconomical and costly process."

Gou believes that despite the large amount of money invested in the project, nuclear power remains a viable source of energy and should not be completely disregarded.
