South Korea is emphasizing the construction of two nuclear reactors, Shin Hanul No. 3 and 4, boosting nuclear energy's share in power generation to 36% by 2038.
The Nuclear Safety and Security Commission approved the reactors to address rising power demands, particularly from artificial intelligence, underscoring the pivot towards carbon-free energy.
The previous government’s anti-nuclear stance led to project abandonment, but current leadership aims to enhance nuclear technology exports, demonstrated by a $17 billion deal with the Czech Republic.
The Shin Hanul reactors, anticipated to be operational by 2032 and 2033, reflect a strategic shift towards nuclear power, dismissed under past administrations due to safety concerns.
