Career edit
Hsia earned a Ph.D. in nuclear engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and had worked for the Atomic Energy Council for over a decade prior to accepting an appointment to lead the AEC. At the time of his promotion, Hsia was head researcher at the AEC's Institute of Nuclear Energy Research.[1] Hsia, a Kuomintang member,[2] took office with the Tang Fei minority cabinet on 20 May 2000.[1] He was supportive of the use of nuclear energy, though many others in the Executive Yuan were not.[3][4] Much of Hsia's tenure was spent discussing the status of the Lungmen Nuclear Power Plant.[5][6][7] In March 2001, Hsia left office and was succeeded by Hu Chin-piao.[8]
