Busan City applied with revisions and supplements to the crisis management manual in the nuclear power safety field (radiation leakage) and was selected as the most outstanding Best institution. While revising this manual, the city incorporated ▲ the 2023 Ministry of the Interior and Safety's 'Comprehensive Plan for National Safety System Reform' revisions ▲ and especially carefully supplemented and reflected the characteristics of radiation disasters and the local environment, such as the expansion of the radiation emergency planning zone, receiving excellent evaluations.

The Ministry of the Interior and Safety's revisions to the National Safety System Reform Comprehensive Plan include detailed operational procedures for inter-agency use of the disaster safety communication network, improvements to the social order maintenance system, and identification procedures in the event of a large number of fatalities, all of which were reflected in the manual.

Traffic control methods considering the characteristics of radiation disasters and the local environment, division of duties and roles between metropolitan and basic local governments for relief of numerous disaster victims, and phased operation details of disaster prevention and relief supplies were supplemented.

Additionally, efforts to actively enhance on-site applicability, such as conducting radiation disaster prevention drills based on this manual, revising and supplementing the manual according to drill results, educating radiation disaster prevention personnel and environmental radiation detection personnel, and holding expert advisory meetings, also contributed to the selection.

Kim Kyung-deok, Director of the Citizen Safety Office, said, “We will continue to revise and supplement the crisis management manual so that it can operate effectively on-site through disaster drills, expert advice, internal training, and feedback collection.”
