Current status of Nuclear Power in Korea General Information of Korea
Densely populated & heavily industrialized >97% energy is imported (~35% of all import) ~36% of national electricity from 20 NPPNPP’’’’ssss National Plan to increase to 59% by 2030

Assistance Program for Newcomers Mentoring Program for Newcomers (Pilot)
To provide an effective To develop the mechanism for future leaders information sharing of new nuclear power and networking for programs considering the introduction of nuclear power programs • When : ‘09. 6. (2weeks) • Where : South Korea • Program : Mentored lecture & scientific visit • Participants : 11 from 11 countries (by IAEA) 5 mentors (by IAEA, KHNP) 15 Contents of the Program • Consultations on the following topics with assigned participants continuously. • Korea’s Nuclear Policy • Korea’s Power Industry • Nuclear Safety • Power planning • Human resource development • Construction of NPPs and Radwaste Disposal • Operation of NPPs • Design and Engineering • Manufacturing components • Localization and technology development
• Supporting to prepare joint reports and review
16 R & R for Mentoring Programme
Participants KHNP IAEA • Summary of • Programme • Programme • the current • Structure of A summary of status the ROK work plans for considering organizations IAEA TC nuclear power • History of the projects related to NP • ROK NP Summary of • Selection of current programme • Participants assistance Explain each • A listing of • organization’ IAEA Objectives that s role and documents and the participant responsibiliti other materials wants to es achieve 17 Future Planning
• After the first mentoring programme • Continuous contacts with the assigned participants through e-mails • Try to participate as experts for future infrastructure assessment mission.
• Continuous Development of the program and Implementation
18 Further Cooperation with IAEA
• Practical Arrangement between IAEA & KHNP • Support newcomer to launch new nuclear program • Strengthening capabity of existing NPP • Information exchange
19 Technical Cooperation in Specific Area
China • Construction OJP(8W)
Indonesia • Project Management Course(4Ws)
Egypt • Nuclear Fundamentals Course(1W)
• Performance Indicators Program WANO(W/S) • SAT Implementation • Predictive Maintenance Program • Performance Improvement Program • Etc (As of 2008)
• Corrective Action & Self-assessment • S/G Maintenance IAEA(W/S) • Communication with stake holders & Public acceptance • Economic Analysis • Integrated Management Program • Etc (As of 2008)
