[Asia Economy Sejong=Reporter Dongwoo Lee] The Nuclear Safety and Security Commission (NSSC) announced on the 9th that it held a completion ceremony for the 'Ulju On-site Radiation Emergency Response Command Center' in Ulsan.

The Ulju On-site Command Center oversees on-site response such as accident management and resident protection measures during radiation emergencies. During normal times, it performs tasks such as inspection of disaster prevention facilities and equipment, disaster prevention training, and inspections. It is planned to replace the currently operating Kori and Wolsong On-site Command Centers if they are unable to perform their roles.

The completion ceremony was attended by Yoo Guk-hee, Chairperson of the Nuclear Safety and Security Commission; Kim Doo-gyeom, Mayor of Ulsan Metropolitan City; Lee Soon-geol, Ulju County Governor; Park Jong-hyun, Director of Social Disaster Response Policy at the Ministry of the Interior and Safety; Kim Seok-cheol, President of the Korea Institute of Nuclear Safety; Lee Sang-min, Head of the Saeul Nuclear Power Headquarters; and local residents of Ulsan.

Chairperson Yoo Guk-hee stated, "With the completion of the Ulju On-site Command Center, not only the response capability to radiation emergencies at the Saeul Nuclear Power Headquarters but also the response capabilities at the Kori and Wolsong Nuclear Power Headquarters will be strengthened, enabling smoother execution of resident protection measures."
