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 the Kori units 3 and 4 reactors on the southeastern coast by an additional 10 years, according to Yonhap and the Korea Times. The approval extends each unit's operation from its original design-life expiry, with unit 3 running until September 2034, as reported by Yonhap's Chinese-language service. The decision came as the IAEA's ministerial conference on nuclear power opened in Incheon the same day, with Yonhap noting the event covers nuclear energy's role amid clean energy demand and energy security.
