Nuclear will continue its strong growth in the country, albeit under a less ambitious energy policy. <\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>An announcement from the Ministry of Industry confirmed the government\u2019s go-ahead for a plan to build two new APR1400\u00a0units at Shin Kori in the south east of the country. The reactors will be the fifth and sixth at the site and will come with a combined price tag of KRW7.61\u00a0trillion ($7.1\u00a0billion).<\/p>\n<p>Construction is set to start on Shin Kori 5\u00a0in September this year, with unit 6\u00a0likely to follow 6\u201312\u00a0months after. They are slated to begin generating power in late 2019\u00a0and 2020.<\/p>\n<p>South Korea imports some 97% of its energy resources at an annual cost of around $170\u00a0billion. It has a policy to reduce this figure, while establishing a reliable power system that reduces greenhouse gas emissions. This results in a set of capacity targets for its power generation fleet. The goal for nuclear power plants in 2035\u00a0is to represent around 29% of capacity, up from 19% now. To do this South Korea must build Shin Kori 5\u00a0and 6\u00a0as well as three further units\u00a0\u2014 in addition to completing the five reactors currently under construction and continuing to operate the existing fleet of 23. This would result in a South Korean nuclear fleet counting 33\u00a0large reactors in 2035.<\/p>\n<p>This nuclear target actually represents a downward revision from a previous policy that would have seen nuclear power plants rise to make up 41% of capacity. However, the baseload role of nuclear power means that its share of production significantly exceeds its share of capacity: Today\u2019s reactors in South Korea are 19% of generation capacity yet their continuous operation sees them produce almost 30% of electricity.<\/p>\n<p>Other aspects of the new energy policy, brought in this month, aim to reduce coal and oil from today\u2019s 66% share to 52% by 2035, while meeting demand for electricity that grows steadily at around 2.5% per year. Renewables will go from about 3.6% to 5.5% of capacity while gas will grow from 12% to 15%.<\/p>\n<p>The revision of nuclear ambitions came as a response to corruption scandals in which cabling and some other components at some nuclear units were found to have been improperly certified. Parts were replaced at Hanbit (formerly Yonggwang) units 3, 4, 5\u00a0and 6\u00a0as well as Hanul (formerly Ulchin) unit 3. All these are now back in normal operation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two new reactors have been approved to start construction in South Korea this year.
