Saeul Unit 3, which began the ambient pressure test on the 19th, confirmed the reliability of the manufacturing and construction technology of the reactor coolant system equipment, a core system of the nuclear power plant, with the successful completion of the test on the 25th.

The ambient pressure test is a critical test that applies 1.25 times the design pressure to the equipment and piping of the core system to verify the soundness and safety of the equipment, checking for leaks in all joints and connections within the reactor coolant system pressure boundary.

Choi Il-kyung, Head of the Construction Business Headquarters, said, “In addition to the successful ambient pressure test, we will focus all our capabilities on subsequent processes to fulfill our role as an overseas business forward base, and we will thoroughly adhere to the basics and principles regarding safety and quality.”
