Taiwan is ¡°very open¡± to using new nuclear technology to meet surging demand from chipmakers devouring electricity in the artificial intelligence boom, according to Premier Cho Jung-tai ¡ª one of the strongest signs yet that the government is rethinking its opposition to reactors.
¡°As long as there is a consensus within Taiwan on nuclear safety and a good direction and guarantees for handling nuclear waste, with this strong consensus, we can have a public discussion,¡± Cho said in an interview.
