The village of Qianhua, in Shimen District, Taipei, primarily populated by a family surnamed Lien, was demolished to construct the Jinshan Nuclear Power Plant as a response to the 1970s energy crisis, and incorporated into the Ten Major Construction Projects in 1973.

[1] Taipower plans to allocate NT$18.2 billion for the disposal of nuclear waste from the decommissioned plant over the next 25 years.

Currently Taipower is doing feasibility study of building a nuclear waste storage facility on an uninhabited island around Taiwan.

[8][9] In August 2013, it was reported that there might have been radioactive water leaks for three years from the storage pools of the nuclear power plant's two reactors.

The Atomic Energy Council was criticized due to their very slow respond in giving answers to the public only 10 hours after the trip.
