On the afternoon of the same day, during his visit to Doosan Enerbility in Changwon, Gyeongnam, Kim emphasized, "If I become president, I will do my utmost to support Doosan Enerbility so that it can grow not just as a single company, but as a world-class enterprise that shapes the future of our country."

Doosan Enerbility is a key company participating in the new nuclear power plant project in Dukovany, Czech Republic, as part of "Team Korea" together with Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power.

Kim referred to the nuclear phase-out policy under the Moon Jae-in administration, stating, "Despite adverse conditions, you have never wavered and have led the way into the future by developing technologies and achieving industrial success in all areas?nuclear, hydro, thermal, and wind power. Your struggle to overcome these challenges embodies the spirit of Korea."

He continued, "I respect the entrepreneurial spirit that presses forward without yielding to adversity," adding, "I believe that when Korea becomes a land where you can fully realize your ambitions, it will become a great nation where young people can find good jobs and fully demonstrate their abilities."

In particular, Kim said, "I have a great deal of interest in small modular reactors (SMRs), and my expectations are high after visiting the site. I offer my boundless respect and anticipation to all of you who are pioneering a path no one else in the world has taken."

Previously, Kim announced a pledge to increase the share of nuclear power generation in order to supply sufficient energy to the artificial intelligence (AI) industry and to foster Korea's nuclear technology to the highest level in the world.
