So let me start with the story a decade ago when this business first started. At the end of 2009, Korea succeeded in exports of nuclear power for the first time, surpassing France and Japan in the bid for construction of the Baraka nuclear power plant. Exports amounted to only KRW 21 trillion, and there were many expectations that the economic effect would be enormous if all of the operation, maintenance and repair work of the nuclear power were combined.

But after that, there was a lot of pain. At the time of the initial contract, the Lee Myung - bak government signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to support the Korean army in the UAE for the nuclear power plant order, but this government has been troubled by the agreement. So, when President Lim Jong - suk, the President 's Office of the Chief of Staff went to the local special envoy.

In addition, there is a controversy about the government 's policy to reduce the nuclear power plant in Korea. So, I analyzed the background of the maintenance contract.

[CNN reported: The Republic of Korea has signed a $ 20 billion contract with the United Arab Emirates. We will support the construction and operation of 4 nuclear power plants.]

It is a remarkable achievement of the first nuclear power project that I heard ten years ago.

It is the expectation of the government that it will be able to generate 54 trillion won of profits over 60 years if it does not cause big rivalry because it is the nuclear power plant which uses our technology in the northeastern plain.

The maintenance contract also predicted that the nuclear power industry would earn 3 trillion won for a 15-year long-term contract.

But Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power said it did not exist in the announcement today.

[Jung Jae-hoon / President, Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Co., Ltd. (Whether the contract is concluded) "15 years" is the number that we have drawn in my head ... .]

There have been several signs already.

The UAE strongly rebelled against the current government to sign a memorandum of understanding on military cooperation that was signed at the time of the nuclear power plant order, and President Lee's secretary general at the time of the end of 2017 was urgently visited and slaughtered.

In academia, the government 's policy to reduce the source of power is stronger in that it has shaken confidence in nuclear power management in the future.

[Chung, Bum-jin / Professor, Dept. of Nuclear Engineering, Kyunghee University: 'Korea-type reactor' means that we are in a much better condition than other countries to take charge of operation. That's it.]

The Ministry of Industry explained that Korean companies such as Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction secured the leading role of nuclear power plant maintenance and could continue to extend it every five years rather than a short-term contract.
