Hanul Headquarters Conducts Joint Radiation Emergency Response Drill for Hanul Unit 5

Hanul Nuclear Power Headquarters of Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (headed by Lee Seyong) conducted a "National Joint Radiation Emergency Response Drill" for Hanul Unit 5 on September 30, with the participation of government ministries such as the Nuclear Safety and Security Commission and the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, as well as local governments, the military, police, and fire departments.

The joint radiation emergency response drill is organized by the Nuclear Safety and Security Commission and jointly implemented with relevant central administrative agencies to quickly contain radiological emergencies, protect the lives and property of the public, and minimize environmental damage.

This drill simulated an emergency situation at the power plant following a manual reactor shutdown due to a pressurizer safety valve leak, compounded by an earthquake. The exercise comprehensively reviewed emergency response capabilities, including the establishment and operation of response facilities, protective measures for residents, radiation monitoring and emergency medical care, and nuclear accident recovery. It also assessed the decision-making procedures of the Nuclear Safety and Security Commission, local governments, and nuclear operators.

Lee Seyong, head of the headquarters, said, "We designed this drill to test our crisis response capabilities under the most extreme scenarios. Through repeated training, we will internalize procedures and protocols so that we can respond thoroughly and swiftly to any emergency situation."
