5 Summary : Korean NP Programme
IAEA 10-12 December 2008 3
Densely populated & heavily industrialized>97% energy is imported (~35% of all import)~36% of national electricity from 20 NPP’sNational Plan to increase to 59% by 2030
Background of Korean Case
IAEA 10-12 December 2008 4
“Atom for Peace” fostered the NP Study in the devastated Korea
following Korean War (1950–53) and greatly helped successful
Startup of 1st NPP(Kori-1) in 1978

• Competent NEPIO for developing national plan– Endowing NEPIO strong authority and manpower for
the national plan development– Maintaining continuous infrastructural investment
under the government leadership– Close coordination with economic and industrial
development plan• Continual assessment and update of national plan
– In-depth evaluation of world NP industry & experiences– Develop a national plan and undertake internal reviews– Coordinate international reviews (including IAEA)

International Collaborations
• Human Resource Development– Training for improving technical ability and obtaining
high quality human resources support– Safeguard efforts under international cooperations
Activities (1957-1969, phase 1 and 2) Sum
International conference and symposium(both attending and hosting)
47 times
Inviting foreign technical experts 61 times (81 persons: 1 day ~18 mos.)
Sending internal human resources 310 persons under poor financial condition
Participation in international scientific projects 16 times (with IAEA)
Safety and proliferation resistance system Bi-lateral, IAEA-INFCI and NPT

NEPIO : Cradle for the 1st NP Programme
Lessons Learned from Korean NP Program NEPIO played key roles during Phases 1 and 2. Developed needed infrastructures in 10 years The 1st NPP on turnkey basis for safety and QA Continued collaboration among former NEPIO members
led to competitive NP infrastructure of Korea.
IAEA 10-12 December 2008 14
1970s
Three turnkey NPP with limited internal procurement to non-safety areas: inability of Korean industry to meet strict quality standards
1980s
Standardization of 6 NPP’s with 950MWe (non-turnkey)involving domestic subcontractors:Establishing AE company & Classifying component by localization feasibility
1990s
Become the prime contractor with foreign subcontractors: Localization programcontributes to improve economy, to increase capacity factor, and to establish complete and up-to-date infrastructure for competitive NP programme
Lessons Learned from Korean NP Program
Continuous investment under the government leadership with enhancing safety feature caused TMI & Chernobyl accident
Initial overestimation of economic growth
IAEA 10-12 December 2008 15
Chernobyl
TMI
Orange : new constructionDark Red : total generation
Still increases of total power generation because of growing availability factor
Oil Crisis
Oil Crisis
In 1980s, Korea had plan to increase NPP up to about 40 units by 2000. However, Korea did not reach it because of slowed economy and anti-nuclear movement.
WORLD
KOREA
Lessons Learned from Korean NP Program• Excellent operation and safety records.
– Increasing localization of NPP leads high load factor and low unplanned outage
– High load factor leads to low generation cost– Aiming at 100% localization of APR1400 by 2012
