Abstract: Taiwan's nuclear power plants are situated in coastal regions characterized by abundant socio-economic and ecological significance. In the context of managing high-level radioactive waste storage and disposal in the future, alongside technical considerations, there exist challenges related to public acceptance and communication. Radioactive waste management, including the siting of storage or disposal facilities, is a socially sensitive matter. The storage and disposal of radioactive waste represent a complex and multifaceted challenge that requires a comprehensive approach spanning multiple disciplines. One of the functions of Integrated Coastal Management (ICM) is to coordinate conflicts related to coastal use. The concept has been progressively embraced and implemented by nations globally. This study employs grounded theory to examine the perspectives of the interviewed stakeholders. It subsequently introduces the principles of integrated coastal management for conflict resolution post-compilation. The study utilizes the principles and mechanisms of integrated coastal management to address or alleviate the challenges related to radioactive waste management in our country. Issues concerning conflict in relation to storage and disposal.
