AI Summary (NQ-processed)
Following a fire at the Third Nuclear Power Plant last year, Hengchun Township Council Chairman Chao Chi-ming, dissatisfied with being told he needed to apply for entry, allegedly drove his car into the plant's gate. He was sentenced to six months in the first trial for obstructing official duties. The Kaohsiung High Court on May 19 rejected the prosecutor's appeal, upholding the original sentence. The court considered his post-offense attitude and his settlement with the police and the power plant, deeming the initial sentence reasonable. The case can still be appealed.
