Nuclear Safety and Security Commission Approves Restart of Hanul Unit 2
[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jihwan] The Nuclear Safety and Security Commission announced on the 4th that it will allow the restart of Hanul Nuclear Power Plant Unit 2, which has been undergoing regular inspections since October last year.
On this day, the NSSC conducted a total of 86 inspections and judged that the reactor can be safely restarted.
However, during this inspection, a section of the reactor containment building was found to be unfilled with concrete, and repairs were ordered. The unfilled section measures approximately 12 cm in width, 11 cm in length, and 17 cm in height.
Additionally, one of the 'penetration pipes,' which serve as the movement path for the upper control rods of the reactor, is expected to exceed the wear limit after one more operational cycle, so it was ordered to be replaced.
