Abstract

As of July 2013, the Republic of Korea (ROK) has been operating a total of 23 nuclear power reactors at four sites with five new reactors under construction. In addition, the country has been planned to construct two more units at two candidate sites. But, at now, due to change the energy policy, only one candidate site has been constructed and one nuclear power plant has been decommissioned. Otherwise, ROK has also been exporting nuclear power plants to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and building a research reactor to Jordan. These performances have made the nation’s nuclear industry by far the fastest growing industry in the world. While Korea has focused on improvements in the field of nuclear safety (especially after the Fukushima accident), it continues to strengthen nuclear security as well. This was demonstrated when the country hosted the 2012 Nuclear Security Summit and in a speech made by nation’s president emphasizing the need for nuclear and cyber security during the 2014 Nuclear Security Summit (NSS). The paper examined the approaches leading to the establishment of the physical protection systems applied at the nuclear facilities in ROK based on CPPNM. Also, the paper will offer recommendations for further steps to improve the ROK’s existing nuclear security apparatus.
韩国核安全的努力与展望
截至2013年7月,韩国在4个地点总共运行了23座核反应堆,其中5座正在建设中。此外,该国还计划在两个候选地点再建造两个机组。但是,目前,由于能源政策的变化,只有一个候选场址已经建成,一个核电站已经退役。此外,韩国还向阿联酋出口了核电站,并向约旦建造了一座研究堆。这些表现使该国的核工业成为迄今为止世界上发展最快的工业。虽然韩国一直致力于改善核安全领域(特别是在福岛事故之后),但它也在继续加强核安全。2012年,韩国主办了核安全峰会,2014年,韩国总统在核安全峰会上强调了核安全与网络安全的必要性,这些都证明了这一点。本文考察了基于CPPNM的韩国核设施实物保护体系的建立方法。此外,该文件还将为进一步完善韩国现有核安全机制提出建议。
