[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] As Typhoon Hinnamnor, the 11th typhoon, is approaching, the Gori Nuclear Power Plant has reduced the generator output as a safety measure in preparation for the typhoon's arrival.

Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Gori Nuclear Headquarters (Head Lee Kwang-hoon) announced on the 5th that it is operating by reducing the generator output of Gori Units 2, 3, and 4 in preparation for Typhoon Hinnamnor, the 11th typhoon.

The Gori Nuclear Headquarters is responding by establishing step-by-step action plans according to the typhoon's path and intensity in anticipation of the typhoon's landfall in the Busan area.

Starting from 11 p.m. on the 4th, beginning with Gori Unit 3, followed by Unit 4 and Unit 2, the output was sequentially reduced, operating at less than 30% output before the typhoon's arrival, taking safety measures.

The Gori Nuclear Headquarters has initiated safety operation measures such as ensuring emergency personnel understand their duties and pre-deploying emergency response personnel in case of emergency alerts due to changes in weather conditions including the typhoon's path and size.
