  1. International Relations (9)Nuclear Power in ROK 2009. 11. 3 김 병 구 bkkim9@gmail.com

  2. Nuclear Power Status in Korea • 20 units in operation, 8 units under construction • Kori, Wolsung, Ulchin, Yonggwang • Localization rate85% in design, manufacturing, const. • Long term supply contract for uranium fuel • Base load production, nuclear share35% • Midnight electricity rate • Radwaste disposal site(Gyungju) • National infrastructure well developed • High quality, low cost electricity(2% of GDP) • Essential element of the high-tech economy

  3. Nuclear sites in Korea Ulchin 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6 Shin-Ulchin 1&2 (Under construction) Radioactive WasteDisposal Facility (Under construction) Wolsong 1, 2, 3 & 4 Shin-Wolsong 1 & 2 (Under Construction) Younggwang 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6 Kori 1, 2, 3 & 4 Shin-Kori 1- 4 (UnderConstruction) In Operation 20 units (17,716MW) 8 units (6,800MW) Under Construction 10

  4. 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

  5. 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 35% 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

  6. 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. etc

  7. 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

  8. Light/dark contrast in the Peninsula
