[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Gori Nuclear Power Headquarters supports the ‘Visiting Medical Consultation and Radiation Education Project’ to improve the health of residents in medical welfare blind spots around the power plant.

On the 17th, Gori Nuclear Power Headquarters signed an agreement with the Southeast Nuclear Medicine Institute at the Radiation Emergency Medical Center of the Southeast Nuclear Medicine Institute in Gijang-gun, Busan.

The project, which has been implemented for three years since 2020, involves medical staff from the Southeast Nuclear Medicine Institute visiting local village halls and schools to measure residents’ basic health. Based on these measurements, they provide high-quality medical consultations and deliver correct basic knowledge about radiation.

Last year, the project was conducted in five villages in Jangan-eup and four villages in Ilgwang-myeon.

The Southeast Nuclear Medicine Institute provides medical professionals such as doctors and nurses. Gori Nuclear Power Headquarters sponsors 10 million KRW in project expenses needed for purchasing medical equipment and pharmaceuticals.

Kim Jong-i, Director of External Cooperation at Gori Nuclear Power Headquarters, said, “We are pleased to be able to help improve the health of local residents by providing high-quality medical services through collaboration with the Southeast Nuclear Medicine Institute,” and added, “Gori Nuclear Power Headquarters will do its best to contribute to the welfare improvement of local residents.”
