KHNP organizes "Nuclear Safety Council for the Nuclear Industry"
- KHNP operates a permanent CEO council for cooperation and solution for nuclear safety issues -
Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (KHNP President and CEO, Jong-shin Kim) decided to expand the current 'Nuclear Safety Guard' system by including its partners into the system in an effort to improve nuclear safety after the Fukushima nuclear accident. In addition, it plans to introduce a 'three strike out’ system against companies that caused nuclear safety problems. KHNP also plans to establish a way to improve the nuclear safety of subcontractors as a plan for managing small-sized maintenance and service providers so that they can inspect and evaluate nuclear safety and safety culture at the same time.
For this, CEOs of nuclear related companies including KHNP gathered in the KHNP Head office on October 19th (11:00 am) to hold a meeting for the establishment of the Nuclear Safety Council for the Nuclear Industry and appointed KHNP President and CEO Jong-shin Kim as the first chairman of the council.
Previously, KHNP had run the Nuclear Safety Guard system by appointing independent monitoring employees for HQs and other branches so that KHNP could quickly handle any safety-deteriorating risks detected in KHNP.
This council will be participated by 14 institutes in charge of the operation, design, manufacturing, and construction or maintenance of nuclear power plants. It will reinforce discussions on nuclear safety issues and a close cooperation system. The council plans to closely analyze basic factors of any nuclear safety risks and implement early improvement countermeasures to prevent any accidents that can deteriorate nuclear safety.
KHNP President and CEO Jong-shin Kim said, "We should secure the world’s best nuclear power plant safety by sharing the expertise and technologies between companies of the council in securing nuclear safety and actively responding to nuclear safety issues each other." (October 19, 2011)
