[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Saeul Nuclear Power Headquarters donated 400 million KRW to the health and welfare improvement project for residents of Onyang-eup, Ulju-gun, Ulsan.

On the 25th, Saeul Nuclear Power Headquarters signed an agreement to support the resident health checkup project at the Onyang-eup Administrative Welfare Center, attended by Moon Jeong-jin, chairman of the Onyang Nuclear Power Plant Area Residents' Council, and officials from affiliated hospitals.

The checkup costs supported are 650,000 KRW for men and 680,000 KRW for women per person.

Yoon Sang-jo, Director of External Cooperation at Saeul Headquarters, said, “Recently, concerns about health have increased due to COVID-19, and we hope this will help improve the health of elderly people in the surrounding areas through quality medical services. Saeul Headquarters will strive to make Ulju-gun a region without medical blind spots through close cooperation with local medical institutions.”

Moon Jeong-jin, chairman of the Onyang Nuclear Power Plant Area Residents' Council, responded, “The health checkup support project is a program that provides practical benefits to local residents, and they are very pleased.
