By expanding the foundation to continuously apply Fourth Industrial Revolution core technologies, it is expected to contribute to the safe operation and quality improvement of nuclear power plants.

Previously, KHNP was the first public enterprise to establish an ERP system in 2002.

Recently, it launched a Digital Innovation Promotion Team directly under the CEO.

The Innovation Promotion Team has achieved outcomes such as establishing a mid- to long-term roadmap for the Fourth Industrial Revolution and signing industry-academic-technology cooperation agreements with Chung-Ang University.

Park Sanghyung, head of KHNP's Digital Innovation Promotion Team, said, "Starting with this project, we will play a pivotal role in establishing and settling a solid foundation for the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Through this, we will do our best to ultimately contribute to the safe operation of nuclear power plants."
