The comprehensive radiation emergency drill is conducted annually for each nuclear power plant in accordance with the "Act on Protection and Radiation Emergency Measures for Nuclear Facilities," and this time, the drill was carried out assuming simultaneous radiation emergency accidents at Kori Unit 3 (Unit 2 power plant) and Shin-Kori Unit 1 (Unit 3 power plant).

More than 350 personnel participated in this drill, including the Kori Headquarters direct control team, radiation emergency responders, and support personnel from Units 2 and 3 power plants. The drill focused on early accident containment and minimizing the radiation impact on the environment.

In particular, the drill verified the rapid activation of emergency organizations and the emergency response capabilities of each organization in situations where emergencies occur simultaneously at multiple power plants, efficient allocation of equipment and personnel, and the effectiveness of resident protection response capabilities.

Additionally, the drill included patient rescue training involving radiation contamination, fire suppression training, and emergency power supply training using mobile power generators, cultivating on-site response capabilities to safely restore the power plants and reduce damage to surrounding areas.

Lee Kwang-hoon, head of the Kori Nuclear Power Headquarters, stated, "This drill was a valuable opportunity to confirm the usefulness of emergency measures prepared for simultaneous disasters at multiple power plants," and added, "We will continue conducting drills to build a safe Kori Nuclear Power Headquarters that earns the trust of local residents."
