Ask what Korea is talking about.

South Korea's nuclear safety watchdog, the Nuclear Safety and Security Commission, approved a 10-year operational life extension for the Kori units 3 and 4 reactors on Tuesday, Oct. 27, 2026, according to Yonhap and the Korea Times. The reactors, located in Gijang County, Busan, will now run until September 2034, per Yonhap's Chinese-language report. The decision follows a commission meeting to review the extension, which had been scheduled for that day. Korean news outlets uniformly reported the approval as a straightforward regulatory decision, with no significant public reaction or controversy noted in the supplied coverage.
