00:00Taiwan President Lai Tsingde says Taiwan could turn back to nuclear power,
00:04a significant potential policy reversal.
00:22Taiwan officially phased out nuclear power last year,
00:26with the shutdown of its last remaining nuclear reactor.
00:29It was a core policy goal of the country's ruling Democratic Progressive Party.
00:33But now, in what appears to be a reversal of that policy,
00:37Lai says Taiwan may restart two of its nuclear plants.
00:40He said preparations to get approval for this plan have already begun.
00:44The country currently relies on imported fossil fuels for almost all of its energy needs.
