Taiwan’s Maanshan Nuclear Power Plant in Hengchun, Pingtung County, was seen releasing large plumes of thick black smoke at approximately 11:30 am local time, causing concern among local residents. The local fire department quickly responded by deploying multiple units to the site to handle the developing situation.
As of now, the exact cause of the smoke remains unclear, with Taiwan Power Company yet to issue any official statement regarding the incident. Witnesses in the surrounding area reported seeing substantial smoke billowing from the plant, with one observer, situated about a kilometer away, confirming that the source of the fire appeared to be within the nuclear facility itself.
Emergency services are currently on the scene, working to manage the situation and ensure the safety of both the plant and nearby residents. The investigation into the cause of the smoke and potential casualties is ongoing, and no further details have been released at this time.
