CNA The sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the six individuals are members of a trial-run test group suggested by Lin Tsung-yao, a former member of the Atomic Energy Council's Fourth Nuclear Power Plant Safety Monitoring Committee. According to Taiwan Power Co., which operates the country's nuclear power plants, there are currently more than 100 foreign engineers working on the construction site of the fourth nuclear power plant, including some from GE, which is responsible for the design of the plant. Economics Minister Chang Chia-juch said previously that the test group, comprising more than 50 local and foreign experts, is expected to be in position April 2 to conduct the safety checks. Chang said that after the experts have moved into the plant, it will take about one month for them to confirm all the standard operating procedures. He said the safety checks will start in May and will take about six months to complete. |

Central African Republic capital seized by rebels as president fleesBy Paul-Marin Ngoupana ,Reuetrs At least six South African soldiers were killed in clashes with the rebels, a Reuters witness said. A United Nations source said the force, in the country to train the army along with hundreds of regional peacekeepers, was preparing to leave. The Seleka rebel coalition resumed hostilities this week in the mineral-rich former French colony, vowing to oust Bozize, whom it accused of breaking a January peace agreement to integrate its fighters into the army. The landlocked country, racked by rural rebellions for more than a decade, has extensive and unprotected borders and the rebel advance added to instability in the heart of Africa. As the loose coalition of rebels — some of them former rivals — tightened their grip on Bangui, it was unclear who would replace Bozize or whether the power-sharing government of Prime Minister Nicolas Tiangaye would remain in place. “The rebels control the town,” said presidency spokesman Gaston Mackouzangba. “I hope there will not be any reprisals.” Government spokesman Crepin Mboli-Goumba said the Seleka rebels controlled all the strategic locations in the city. A presidential advisor, who asked not to be named, said Bozize had crossed the Oubangi river into Congo on Sunday morning as rebel forces headed for the presidential palace. Bozize had seized power in a 2003 military coup. A United Nations official in Congo said Kinshasa's government asked the U.N. refugee agency to help move 25 members of Bozize's family out of the border town of Zongo on Sunday. Congo's Information Minister Lambert Mende told Reuters President Bozize was not among the family members who arrived in Zongo and said his arrival in the country had not been announced to Congolese authorities. “The palace has just fallen. We have the palace,” Eric Massi, a Seleka spokesman, told Reuters by telephone from Paris.
