Nuclear watchdog approves 10-year extension for Kori units 3, 4
Korea's Nuclear Safety and Security Commission (NSSC) decided Tuesday to extend the operational life of Kori units 3 and 4 by an additional 10 years, according to Yonhap and the Korea Times. The two reactors, located on the southeastern coast, will now run until 2034 and beyond, with the extension taking effect from the end of their original design life. The approval was reported as a lead story by Yonhap, which noted the decision was made at an NSSC meeting on Oct. 27. The Korea Times also covered the decision, framing it as a key step for the country's nuclear power policy. The move comes as the IAEA's ministerial conference on nuclear power opened in Incheon the same day, highlighting Korea's ongoing engagement with nuclear energy amid global clean energy and security debates.
