The competition brought together 316 quality subgroups that were selected through regional preliminaries in 17 cities and provinces across the country. The 'I-NOVA' subgroup from Wolseong Headquarters' Unit 3 (led by Hosang Kim) participated with the theme "Reducing Maintenance Time through Process Technology Learning for Instrumentation and Control Equipment." They won the Gold Prize in the learning organization category, earning recognition for excellence in quality and safety in nuclear power plant operation.

Director Wonho Jung stated, "Winning this National Quality Innovation Competition is the result of our continuous efforts to enhance engineering capabilities and nuclear power plant operation skills through proactive quality innovation. We will continue to pursue quality innovation and excellent safety operations so that Wolseong Headquarters becomes an even more trusted organization."
