[Asia Economy Reporter Ryu Jeong-min] The Blue House stated that it has no particular intention to issue a statement regarding the Board of Audit and Inspection's findings that the 'economic feasibility' was evaluated too low during the early shutdown process of Wolseong Unit 1.


A senior Blue House official said this on the afternoon of the 20th when meeting with reporters about the announcement of the Board of Audit and Inspection's results. The official said, "I have not even seen the full text of the (Board of Audit and Inspection) announcement. If necessary, we will issue a statement after reviewing the full text," adding, "It seems unlikely that we will issue a special statement. The relevant ministries will provide explanations."



Earlier, the Board of Audit and Inspection released audit results stating that one of the contentious issues regarding the decision to shut down Wolseong Unit 1 early was that the economic feasibility was evaluated too low. However, it did not make a judgment on the validity of the early shutdown of Wolseong Unit 1, stating that it was outside the scope of the audit.
