Hwang Ju-ho, President of KHNP, along with local government officials attending the ceremony, conducted a ‘Safety Inspection of Saeul Units 3 and 4 (formerly Shin-Kori Units 5 and 6) Construction Site’ to prevent major accidents.

The inspection team checked the construction sites of Saeul Units 3 and 4, including the concrete pouring work for the reactor structure of Saeul Unit 4, and confirmed the safety management status at the comprehensive safety control room overseeing the construction site safety.

During a meeting with site managers from partner companies at the construction site, Hwang Ju-ho and Lee Soon-geol hoped that the partners would work together to ensure a safe nuclear power plant construction site and thoroughly manage safety to prevent major accidents.
