[케이에스피뉴스=김지태 문화전문기자 [email protected]] The Nuclear Safety and Security Commission will hold a bilateral meeting with the French Nuclear Safety Authority (ASN) in Seoul (Four Seasons Hotel) on December 19th.
The meeting will be attended by Lim Seung-chul, Secretary General of the NSSC, and Jean-Luc Lachaume, a standing member of the French Nuclear Safety Agency, as chief representatives. It is planned to exchange opinions on the field and major international issues.
NSSC and the French Nuclear Safety Authority signed an agreement for information exchange and cooperation in the field of nuclear safety and radiation protection safety regulation in October 2012, and an agreement was signed between the NSSC Gori regional office and the French Nuclear Safety Authority Bordeaux regional office for inspection observation. We continue to cooperate and exchange visits.
This meeting is the first cooperative activity since the signing of the cooperation agreement extension (2022-2027) between the two institutions in September. They plan to share major pending issues and regulatory experiences related to nuclear safety, and discuss future cooperation areas.
In addition, on December 20, they will visit the low-level radioactive waste disposal site in Gyeongju and tour related facilities.
NSSC chairman Yu Kook-hee announced that he would work more closely with the Nuclear Safety Authority of France, which has the second largest number of operating nuclear power plants in the world, to secure nuclear and radiation safety that meets the public’s eye level.
