The Lanyu (Orchid Island) LLW (Low Level Waste) interim storage facility for the Taiwan LLW is located on Lanyu Island off the coast of Taiwan (Republic of China). It is perhaps the only outdoor LLW interim storage facility in the world. The shipment of LLW to the Lanyu LLW interim storage facility began in May 1982 and ceased in June 1995 after strong opposition from the local aboriginal Yamei tribe people. Since the shipment of LLW to the Lanyu LLW storage facility ceased in 1995, the LLW in Taiwan has been stored temporarily at the indoor facilities at the Taipower (Taiwan Electric Power Company) three operating NPPs (nuclear power plants) and the INER (Institute of Nuclear Energy Research). The current Taiwan government has recently begun to lay out a multi-faceted plan to address the Lanyu LLW interim storage facility and evaluate different options of relocating Lanyu LLW to other possible sites. However, many challenges remain, notably the site selection for the LLW final disposal site. (authors)
