Nuclear Reactors End Nuke Phaseout

The construction of two new nuclear reactors has resumed at Shin-Hanul nuclear power plant in South Korea, eight years after the application was submitted.

This project was scrapped due to the previous administration's nuclear phase out policy. The Nuclear Safety and Security Commission which launched a review of the reactors construction in 2022 reached a final conclusion this Thursday.

The agency saw all factors appropriate including technical performance, environmental impact and even safety measures that have been stepped up since the Fukushima nuclear disaster. Construction begins Friday and a total budget of nearly USD 8.9 billion is expected to go into the project.
