Hanwool Nuclear Power Plant Saeul Units 3 and 4, Citizen Observation Group Visits Test Operation Site

Impressive Systematic and Safe Management

The Saeul Nuclear Power Headquarters of Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power operates the ‘Saeul Units 3 and 4 Citizen Observation Group’ to enhance public trust in nuclear power plant safety. On the 7th, the group visited the Saeul Units 3 and 4 commissioning site, where construction and commissioning are actively underway.

Following their visit to the construction site in July, the Citizen Observation Group operated key equipment firsthand in a simulator room designed identically to the Saeul Units 3 and 4 main control room, verifying the plant’s emergency response capabilities. They also directly observed the commissioning process of major facilities through inspections of the nuclear power plant control and instrumentation system and the air compressor test at the Saeul Units 3 and 4 commissioning site.

Since 2018, the Citizen Observation Group, composed of citizens from the Busan, Ulsan, and Gyeongnam regions, has been directly observing the commissioning and construction processes of nuclear power plants under construction to verify their safety.

A citizen who participated in the visit said, “The systematically and safely managed commissioning site was impressive,” adding, “It was an opportunity to gain confidence in the excellence and safety of our country’s nuclear technology.”

Jo Seok-jin, head of the Saeul Nuclear Power Headquarters, stated, “As the forward base for nuclear power plant exports, Saeul Units 3 and 4 will prioritize safety as the highest value to earn public trust, and we will do our best to ensure successful construction and commissioning.”
