[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Chaeseok] The Nuclear Safety and Security Commission announced on the 4th that it held a situation assessment meeting chaired by the chairman to check the preparedness of nuclear facilities in relation to Typhoon No. 10 'Haishen,' which is moving northward.

A video conference was held at the Nuclear Safety Commission's disaster prevention situation room with five regional offices in Gori, Wolseong, Hanbit, Hanul, Daejeon, and Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power.

They received reports on the damage and recovery status caused by Typhoon No. 9 'Maysak' and the inspection results for preparedness against Typhoon No. 10 'Haishen,' and checked the readiness measures.
