This briefing session was organized prior to the commencement of the basic survey on land and property in the Wanggok-myeon area, aiming to transparently inform residents about the project overview, implementation schedule, compensation procedures, and assessment methods, and to seek their cooperation.

Approximately 200 residents attended the session, which included explanations and a Q&A session on the project's current status, future plans, compensation targets, and the appraisal process.

Residents who participated in the briefing session expressed a consensus that "the project seems to be progressing too quickly," and emphasized that "the compensation plan should be acceptable to the residents."

The three co-chairs of the Residents' Countermeasure Committee stated, "We will consolidate the opinions raised at today's briefing session and convey them to Naju City," adding, "We will take the lead in protecting residents' property rights through continuous communication."

Naju City especially requested active cooperation from residents during the field visits by survey personnel, as the 'basic survey' is a crucial step that will serve as foundational data for determining future compensation amounts.

The city plans to complete the basic survey by June, proceed with the viewing and public announcement of the compensation plan, and then carry out appraisals starting in August.

The 'Artificial Sun Research Facility' is a core research institution aimed at realizing fusion energy, representing a major national project and essential research infrastructure that will drive the next generation of limitless clean energy industries.

Naju City plans to accelerate compensation negotiations and site development with the goal of providing the site to the Ministry of Science and ICT by February 2028.
