With regard to these unexpected developments, Taipower chairman Chang Chung-chien emphasized that the contract fully conforms to international regulations, and so Taipower would not bow to South Korean pressure.
台電方面，董事長張鍾潛對此意料之外的發展表示，台電與北韓簽訂的國際合約，完全遵守原子能總署的各項國際規範，輸往北韓的低放射核廢料在台也會先做好固化處理，無論在安全上或程序上都沒有問題，台電自無對南韓施壓低頭之理。
