Nuclear as an energy source is included in the latest draft of the country's green taxonomy, which is a list of economic activities considered environmentally sustainable.
With nuclear on the list, funding for reactors will be easier and Korea's taxonomy will be more in line with global trends.
The "K-taxonomy" could help Korea in signing nuclear power projects overseas, but the green energy classification may not be enough for investors.
Yoon's transition team said last week it will be including nuclear power in the nation's "green taxonomy," which is a list of economic activities considered environmentally sustainable.
