Nuclear power plants: My neighbours Jackie Chang, DIGITIMES,
Taipei [Wednesday 13 March 2013]  Well, I don't live next door
to nuclear power plants, but I live close enough to two. If they
go wrong, I will definitely have to flee.  I did some
measurements on Google Map. The First Nuclear Power Plant (Nuke
1, as it is usually called) in the northern tip of Taiwan is
about 50km from my house - which is located in downtown Taipei
City (the capital of Taiwan that houses around three million
people) and only about 1km from the Presidential Palace. A car
ride from the plant to my home takes only one hour and nine
minutes.  The distance from my house to the Second Nuclear Power
Plant (Nuke 2) is actually closer, only around 45km. Nuke 1 and
nuke 2 are close to each other. This means, I am living in the
range of 50km away from two nuclear power plants lying along the
coast of New Taipei City, which has a population of six million.
