  3. PartⅠ. Nuclear Energy Overview

  4. 1 Current Status of Global Nuclear Power 2 Why Nuclear Energy?

  5. 1. Current Status of Nuclear Power 441 Units in Operation (30 Countries) 441 Units in Operation (30 Countries) Source: World Nuclear Association (Nov 2010) 5

  6. 1. Current Status of Nuclear Power Nuclear Power Plants by Country (2010.11) 6 Source: World Nuclear Association (Nov 2010)

  7. 2. Why Nuclear Energy? Uranium: 240 yrsvsFossil Fuel: 40-130 yrs 7

  8. 2. Why Nuclear Energy? Environmentally Friendly: : Less CO2 Emission GHGs emitted by power generation CO2 Emission (g/kWh) Coal Oil Gas NE Without NPP … - Global CO2 emission would be 10% larger than the current level - In Korea, 24%↑ 8

  9. 2. Why Nuclear Energy? Comparative Advantage: Cost, Land & Efficiency ◊Production Cost: 3~25 times lower than conventional energy ※ Unit: KRW/KWH, Source:Korean Electric Power Corporation ◊Land Site: 5~500 times less 165,000,000 m2 33,000,000 m2 330,000 m2 Landsite to produce 1 GWh electricity 9

  10. 2. Why Nuclear Energy? Energy Security Uranium: Widely spread vs. Fossil fuel: dependent on ME & Russia uranium coal oil 10

  12. 1 Development of Nuclear Energy in Korea 2 Nuclear Policy 3 Nuclear Industries

  13. 1. Development of Nuclear Energy in Korea The 1st Research Reactor in Korea, TRIGA Mark II The 1st president of Korea in the ground breaking ceremony (1959.7.14) Dawning of Nuclear Age in Korea 1950-1953 : Korean War 1958: Nuclear Eng. Dept of Hanyang Univ. 1959: Nuclear Eng. Dept of Seoul National Univ. 1959: Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute 13

  14. Kori - the site of the 1st Korean NPP : before (top) and now (bottom). 1st unit of Nuclear power plant started its construction in 1972 Turn Key basis 587MWe Commercial operation in 1978 Life extension after 30 years operation (2007.12) 1. Development of NuclearEnergy in Korea Generating Nuclear Electricity in Korea 14

  15. ` In operation 20 units (17,716 MW) ` Under construction 8 units (9,600 MW) ` Under planning 10 units (15,400 MW) Nuclear Power Plants 1. Development of Nuclear Energy in Korea 6th Largest Nuclear Power Capacity in the World Ulchin 8 units Wolseong 6 units Radioactive Waste Disposal Facility (Under construction) Kori 8 units Yong-gwang 6 units Goal by 2030 (Basic Plan, 2008.8) 26%  41% of Capacity 36%  59% of Generation In Operation Under Construction 15
