Ma'anshan ( Chinese 馬鞍山 發電廠 , Pinyin Mǎ'ānshān Fādiànchǎng ) is the third commercial nuclear power plant ( Chinese 第三 核能 發電廠 , Pinyin Dì Sān Hénéng Fādiànchǎng ) in Taiwan . The plant is located in the south of the island in the municipality of Hengchun directly on the coast ( Nan Wan ) near the Kenting National Park and is the only nuclear power plant in southern Taiwan.
The two pressurized water reactors with a gross rated output of 951 MW each went into operation in 1984 and 1985, respectively. The reactors were built by the American company Westinghouse . The turbines were manufactured by the Swiss company Asea Brown Boveri . It is the first power plant in Taiwan with pressurized water reactors. The construction cost was 94.7 billion Taiwanese dollars . Other sources report an estimated cost of $ 1.19 billion and ultimately $ 3.25 billion.
The radioactive waste is initially stored on the factory premises. There is a storage capacity for fuel rods from 40 years of operation.
Accidents
On February 9, 1999, a truck carrying fuel rods for the nuclear power plant drove into a house.
On March 18, 2001, unfavorable weather conditions put the external power connections out of service. The emergency diesel generators of one of the reactor blocks started up after the emergency shutdown, but an earth fault paralyzed the emergency power rail A, and the resulting arc also damaged the emergency power rail B, which triggered a fire. There was now a so-called "swing diesel" that was available for both units in an emergency. However, this first had to be made ready to go, which took around two hours. The dissipation of the decay heat during this time was done by a self-steam driven pump similar to the one that worked for a while in the three accident blocks in the Fukushima NPP after the tsunami. This so-called "station blackout" from Maanshan did not receive an INES rating because Taiwan was not a member of the IAEA .
Side effects
The reactors are located directly on the sea, which is why the cooling water is returned directly there. It is reported that the heated cooling water contributes to coral bleaching .
