Nuclear watchdog approves 10-yr extension for Kori units 3, 4
South Korea's nuclear safety watchdog approved a 10-year lifespan extension for Kori nuclear power plant units 3 and 4 on Tuesday, allowing them to operate until 2034 and beyond. The Nuclear Safety and Security Commission (NSSC) made the decision at its meeting, extending the reactors' operational life by a decade past their original design limits. Yonhap reported the approval, noting the units will run until September 2034 and later. The Korea Times also confirmed the decision, stating the two reactors on the southeastern coast will operate for an additional 10 years. The approval comes as the IAEA Ministerial Conference on Nuclear Power opened in Incheon the same day, highlighting nuclear energy's role amid clean energy demand and energy security pushes.
