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.
