Taipower Completes Internal Disciplinary Action; Former Second Nuclear Power Plant Supervisor Dismissed in April
Taiwan Power Company (Taipower) confirmed today (July 21) that a former supervisor at the Second Nuclear Power Plant, surnamed Zeng, was dismissed in April following internal disciplinary proceedings. Zeng had been indicted by prosecutors on corruption charges.

Taipower reiterated its principle of "no wrongful punishment, no leniency" in handling procurement and integrity cases, ensuring both administrative disciplinary action and full cooperation with judicial investigations.
