[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] A citizen monitoring group will be deployed at the Ulsan Shin-Kori Units 5 and 6 construction site.

Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (KHNP) announced on the 13th that from the 15th to the 26th, it will publicly recruit the 3rd citizen monitoring group through the KHNP website, forming a total of 30 members to expand citizen participation by monitoring the construction process of Shin-Kori Units 5 and 6, identifying improvements, and making recommendations.

The 3rd citizen monitoring group, which started in 2018 and is the third this year, is being conducted as a follow-up measure to the public discussion on Shin-Kori Units 5 and 6. All policies must be pursued from the public’s perspective, and transparent information disclosure aims to secure public trust in nuclear safety.

For COVID-19 prevention, the recruitment area for this citizen monitoring group is limited to the Busan, Ulsan, and Gyeongnam regions adjacent to the construction site, and online participation will be conducted concurrently.

The citizen monitoring group will perform activities such as visiting the construction site, attending online sessions on basic nuclear theory and seismic safety, participating in discussions, and inspecting safety conditions at the construction site. They will also freely present opinions and policy suggestions through the dedicated KHNP citizen monitoring group website.

KHNP plans to enhance transparency in the disclosure of nuclear power plant construction information and secure public trust in the safety of nuclear power generation through the operation of this citizen monitoring group.
