[Asia Economy Reporter Junho Hwang] The National Fusion Research Institute has signed a business agreement with Wanju-gun, Jeollabuk-do, and Jeonbuk Technopark to distribute the 'Plasma Technology-Based Smart Storage System' developed by the Plasma Technology Research Center to farms.

This system utilizes the characteristics of plasma, known as the fourth state of matter, to perform functions such as sterilization, disinfection, and washing of agricultural products during preprocessing, as well as sterilization, respiration suppression, and maturation inhibition of harmful microorganisms inside storage facilities.

Through this agreement, the institute plans to expand the application range of plasma technology to the entire smart agro-biological industry.

Yoo Seok-jae, director of the Fusion Research Institute, stated, "Starting with the demonstration and distribution cooperation of the plasma smart storage system to farms, we will continuously strive to ensure that various plasma technologies developed at the Plasma Technology Research Center contribute to technological innovation in the agro-biological industry and help revitalize local communities."
