One of the representative promises of President-elect Yoon Seok-yeol is the elimination of nuclear power.



The most symbolic measure is to immediately resume the construction of Shin-Hanul Units 3 and 4, which has been suspended under the current government.

is the construction site for Units 3 and 4 of the Shinhanul Nuclear Power Plant in Uljin, Gyeongbuk.



Construction started in 2017, but the current government's policy to phase out nuclear power has stopped the construction at 10% for over 4 years.



President-elect Yoon Seok-yeol has repeatedly emphasized that this measure will be reversed.

The operating policy of the 24 nuclear power plants currently in operation is also highly likely to change.



The current government was planning to achieve the goal of phase-out of nuclear power plants by sequentially shutting them down.



The small-scale nuclear power plant SMR, which is being developed only for export, is also expected to turn toward increasing domestic utilization.



In addition, unlike in Europe, there are many observations that the domestic taxonomy will be reviewed, excluding nuclear power plants from the green classification system.
