Nuclear power plant decommissioning experts gather in one place… Creating a venue for decommissioning technology exchange and cooperation

Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy holds global competitiveness enhancement council and business forum in succession

[Inside Story / Reporter Moon Hong-cheol] = The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy announced that it held a nuclear power plant decommissioning business forum in the afternoon following the nuclear power plant decommissioning global competitiveness enhancement council in the morning on the 25th to review the status of domestic nuclear power plant decommissioning preparations and discuss domestic and international technology development trends.

The council was attended by 19 experts from local governments, industry, academia, and research, including Lee Ho-hyun, director of the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy’s Energy Policy Bureau, and focused on reviewing the status of nuclear power plant decommissioning projects and future plans by technology, market, and infrastructure based on the plan to enhance the global competitiveness of the nuclear power plant decommissioning industry announced in 2022.

At the Nuclear Decommissioning Business Forum, approximately 200 experts participated and discussed the topic of “Let’s all go together on the long journey of nuclear decommissioning!” In Part 1, the status and outlook of the nuclear decommissioning industry technology development were discussed, and in Part 2, successful nuclear decommissioning experiences and lessons learned from global decommissioning companies such as Hyundai Engineering & Construction, Westinghouse, and Orano were shared.

Director of Energy Policy Office Lee Ho-hyun stated, “The global nuclear decommissioning market is expected to be worth up to 492 trillion won, and it is growing into a high value-added industry that combines cutting-edge technologies such as robots, digital twins, and new materials,” and emphasized, “Let’s secure nuclear decommissioning technology based on the capabilities of the global nuclear industry to prepare for domestic nuclear decommissioning and lead the global market.”
