[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] On the 4th, 43 professors and students from the Department of Nuclear Engineering at UNIST visited the Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Saewool Nuclear Power Headquarters to enhance their understanding of nuclear power through a field trip to a nuclear power plant.

Students majoring in nuclear engineering, who will lead the future of the nuclear industry, listened to explanations about the current status of nuclear power plant operation and construction at the construction observatory where they could see the Saewool Units 3 and 4 construction site, and toured the main control room, turbine room of the operating Saewool Unit 2, and the spent fuel storage pool.

Professor Park Jae-young of the Department of Nuclear Engineering at UNIST, who visited Saewool Nuclear Power on this day, said, “It must have been a great opportunity for students to directly observe the facilities of a nuclear power plant they had learned about in the classroom, and to reaffirm their pride and sense of purpose regarding domestic nuclear technology.”

Yoon Yoo-young, Director of External Cooperation at Saewool Nuclear Power Headquarters, said, “I hope it was a good time to resolve questions about nuclear power plant construction and operation,” and added, “I hope students majoring in nuclear power will play a role in delivering objective and accurate information to citizens.”

With increased public interest in nuclear power due to changes in government nuclear policies, Saewool Nuclear Power plans to continue promotional activities to provide accurate information about the safety and excellence of domestic nuclear power plants.
