Construction of a fourth nuclear power plant, which began in 1999, was suspended by DPP President Chen Shui-bian the following year. Although Chen’s government, under pressure from the opposition Kuomintang, later restarted work on the plant, design revisions have repeatedly delayed its completion.
规划的第四座核电站于1999年开工，却在次年被民进党籍“总统”陈水扁叫停。虽然随后在国民党的压力下核电站重新开工建设，按不断出现的设计更改却使竣工日期一再延误。而当地民众的抵抗一直以来都相当顽强。
