No option other than nuclear energy can reduce Korea’s carbon emissions and meet its growing demand for electricity.
Korea is set to dismantle the decommissioned Kori-1 nuclear reactor next year, the Industry Ministry said Friday.
If we want to protect the domestic SMR market from foreign suppliers, let alone entering overseas markets, the budget must be restored.
Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (KHNP) has submitted a final bid for a nuclear power plant construction project in the Czech Republic. The state-run utility is competing with Westinghouse and EDF.
Westinghouse said Wednesday that it will appeal the U.S. court’s latest decision to dismiss its lawsuit against state-owned Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (KHNP) and its parent company Korea Electric Power Corporation (Kepco).
The delayed commissioning of Shin-Hanul nuclear reactors Unit 1 and 2 caused over 9 trillion won ($6.79 billion) of loss by forcing the country to source electricity from liquefied natural gas (LNG) instead, recent data analysis showed.
The 1,400-megawatt Shin-Hanul Unit 2 reactor, which began construction in 2010, was granted final approval for operation from the Nuclear Safety And Security Commission on Thursday.
Doosan Enerbility began manufacturing core components for Shin-Hanul 3 and 4 nuclear reactors Monday, after the company signed a 2.9 trillion won ($2.2 billion) supply deal with Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (KHNP) in March.
Doosan Enerbility will supply core materials for a small modular reactor (SMR) project in the U.S., the company said Friday.
