The proposal to establish a nuclear safety grant tax includes revising related laws to provide financial support not only to the locations of nuclear power plants but also to local governments near nuclear power plants.

If the bill currently pending in the National Assembly passes, the remaining 23 basic local governments, excluding the five nuclear power plant locations that already receive budget support as they fall within the radiation emergency planning zone, will also receive local allocation tax support for radiation disaster prevention and resident safety projects.

Chairman Kim Kyung-hyun said, “The nuclear grant tax must be established to protect the lives and property of local residents from radiation,” and added, “I hope everyone actively participates in the 1 million residents' signature campaign for the passage of the bill.”

He then nominated Yoon Aeng-rang, chairman of the Hampyeong County Council, as the next participant.
