[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Gwiyeol] From the 29th to the 31st, Gyeongbuk Province will hold the "2022 International Nuclear Power Export and Safety Confex" at the Gyeongju Hwabaek Convention Center to promote the export of nuclear power technology and power generation equipment.

This event aims to boost the export of technology and equipment in line with the government's policy to strengthen the nuclear power industry ecosystem and to establish a promotional platform for the future of nuclear power in Gyeongbuk, the center of South Korea's energy industry.

Sponsored by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power, and hosted by Gyeongbuk Province and Gyeongju City, the event will feature 80 companies participating across more than 110 booths.

The main exhibition areas include nuclear power maintenance and safety, nuclear power construction, nuclear and power generation equipment, nuclear power design and research, and nuclear power decommissioning, showcasing new technologies and products.

Participating organizations include major domestic public institutions related to nuclear power such as Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power, Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute, Korea Radioactive Waste Agency, KHNP KNP, Doosan Enerbility, Hyundai Engineering & Construction, as well as large and small enterprises.

On the first day of the event, the 29th, an "Export Consultation Meeting" was held by inviting key overseas buyers from countries such as the Czech Republic, Poland, and Egypt to support the export of nuclear power equipment companies.

On the following day, a seminar was held inviting overseas buyers to explain their procurement procedures and vendor registration processes.

This was organized to accelerate the overseas expansion of domestic nuclear power companies by simultaneously holding product or technology presentations by selected domestic companies for the invited buyers and to establish a two-way communication platform.

During the Confex, a conference titled "Redefining Sustainable K-Nuclear Power in the Net-Zero Era" will be held, inviting prominent figures from the nuclear power industry to discuss various current issues and key topics surrounding nuclear power.

The conference will feature active presentations and discussions on directions for sustainable nuclear power in harmony with the public, strategies to enhance nuclear power safety, and methods for handling spent nuclear fuel.

Governor Lee Cheol-woo said, "Despite the difficulties of the nuclear phase-out policy, we have steadily fostered the nuclear power industry without giving up, opening an opportunity to restore South Korea's nuclear power ecosystem that was on the brink of collapse. Through this event, I hope we can export our excellent nuclear power technology and equipment overseas and develop innovative future nuclear power technologies to take the lead in the global nuclear power market."
