The Korea Atomic Industrial Forum (KAIF) hosted the fifth Nuclear Decommissioning Business Forum 2020 under the theme of “Building Infrastructure to Create Initial Markets for Nuclear D&D Industry” at Korea Hydro and Nuclear Power Company (KHNP) Corporate Office Auditorium on December 4, 2020. The forum ended up successfully with more than 457 online and offline participants from Korean nuclear industry.

 

 


 

 

The forum started with an opening address by Mr. Jae-hoon Chung, Chairman of KAIF. He said, “KHNP is currently working to find a win-win model and develop technologies to create an ecosystem for the D&D industry.” and he also said, “Companies participating in the Kori Unit 1 decommissioning project are cooperating with each other organically so that they can enter the global market with KHNP by developing their D&D capabilities.”

 

 

 


 

 

At the congratulatory remarks by Byung-sik Lee, co-chairman of the Public-Private Council for Nuclear Decommissioning Industry since 2018, he said, “It is very meaningful that The industry-academia-research cooperation shares opinions, experience and knowledge since the nuclear D&D industry began in Korea.” and he also said, “Since there is still a lot of uncertainty and risks in nuclear power plants decommissioning, it is necessary to prepare for the future D&D market by expanding the capacity of the domestic decommissioning industry in laws, institutions, regulatory system maintenance, and technology development.”

 

 


 

At the forum, an award ceremony of nuclear D&D idea contest was held. This year, a total of 59 (31 from industry sector and 28 from university student sector) excellent ideas were received.
