Potential sites near Taiwan Selection requirements: – Near nuclear power plant ~ km. – Depth < -2.6 km (~ 1 km of std. rock) – Distance to nearest harbor Logistic support M.A. Huang 8
Nuclear Power Stations 3 existing NPS, all have two cores. NPS-1: 2 1775 MWt NPS-2: 2 2894 MWt NPS-3: 2 2785 MWt NPS-4 in construction. NPS-4: 2 4100 MWt ; Finish in 2009~ 2101 M.A. Huang 9

Future participation in HANOHANO If HANOHANO site is near Taiwan, we would be the host and provide local supports. – Site survey – Application/permission to government – Local control – Data transmission, storage, … etc. If not, … – HANOHANO is a good continuation of DYB, someone may still participate. Need consensus from colleague in Taiwan – HEP community, geo-physicists, funding agency, publics. M.A. Huang 14
