Nuclear watchdog approves 10-year extension for Kori units 3, 4

South Korea's nuclear watchdog, the Nuclear Safety and Security Commission, 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 follows a meeting to review the extension, which had been pending as of earlier Tuesday. The decision comes amid broader nuclear energy discussions in Korea, including an IAEA ministerial conference on nuclear power that kicked off in Incheon the same day, as reported by Yonhap and KBS World. Korean news outlets are reporting the approval as a straightforward regulatory decision, with no immediate public reaction detailed in the supplied documents.
