Nuclear Power Technical Self-reliance

• Design : plant, reactor system, core fuel• Manufacturing : reactor, turbine components• Construction : civil, mechanical, electrical• Operation : O&M training• Safety/regulatory : safety licensing• Radwaste : treatment, disposal • Local firms achieve commercial status

Korean Nuclear Program Status• 20 NPPs in full commercial operation

– Nuclear capacity rank #5• Technical self-reliance drive since 1980

– Best economy due to design standardization• Supplying 40% of total nation’s electricity

– High quality, low cost– Basis of high-tech green growth economy

• Nuclear industry : 2% of total GDP• Export industry for the Nuclear Renaissance• 30 Korean professional staff at the IAEA

Korean Nuclear Agencies

• Nuclear safety/research : MEST( 교과부 )– R&D: KAERI ( 한국원자력연구원 , 대덕 )– Regulatory: KINS ( 원자력안전기술원 , 대덕 )

• Nuclear power/industry: MKE( 지경부 )– Operation: KHNP( 한수원 , 고리 , 월성 , 영광 , 울진 )– Design: KOPEC ( 전력기술 , 수원 )– Manufacturing: Doosan HI ( 두산중공업 , 창원 )– Fuel: KNF ( 핵연료주 , 대덕 )– Construction: Hyundai. Samsung, etc

Korean Nuclear Features

• Engine for economic development since ‘70s• Transformed from coal to nuclear base load• Simultaneous to NPP construction and

technical self-reliance• Solely for peaceful use since NPT (1975)• N/S Joint Declaration of Denuclearization (1992)

• KEDO LWR construction at Kumho, NK• Nuclear export opportunities for NPP, fuel
