Hu was appointed head of the Atomic Energy Council in June 1996 under president Lee Teng-hui and premier Lien Chan.[1] He retained his position when Vincent Siew assumed the premiership. In March 1999, Hu granted permission for the Lungmen Nuclear Power Plant to be built, without undertaking a second environmental impact assessment, despite the fact that Taiwan Power Company had decided to increase the plant's power output shortly before construction first commenced.[2][3] He was succeeded by Hsia Te-yu and became minister without portfolio responsible for investigating compensation for targets of political prosecution.[4] Hu returned to the Atomic Energy Council in March 2001, after Hsia had left office.[5][6] Soon after beginning his second term as minister of the AEC, Hu decided against a second environmental impact assessment for Lungmen.[7] In January 2002, incoming premier Yu Shyi-kun named Ouyang Min-shen to replace Hu at the Atomic Energy Council.[8]
