The completion of all commissioning tests and government approval to operate at full power marks the start of commercial operation at unit 2\u00a0of Korea\u2019s Shin Wolsong nuclear power plant.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Plant operator Korea Hydro and Nuclear Power (KHNP) announced today that following eight months of commissioning tests, the unit had been declared as being in commercial operation.<\/p>\n

Construction began on Shin Wolsong 2\u00a0in 2008\u00a0and was completed in 2013, but South Korea\u2019s Nuclear Safety and Security Commission (NSSC) withheld permission for the reactor to start up following a discovery in May of that year that safety-related control cabling with falsified documentation had been installed at four reactors. The NSSC approved the restart of the other affected reactors\u00a0\u2014 Shin Kori units 1\u00a0and 2\u00a0and Shin Wolsong unit 1\u00a0\u2014 in January 2014\u00a0after the completion of recabling work.<\/p>\n

Fuel loading began at Shin Wolsong 2\u00a0\u2014 a 1050\u00a0MWe OPR-1000\u00a0reactor\u00a0\u2014 last November after the NSSC finally issued an operating licence to KHNP for the reactor. It was subsequently connected to the grid on 26\u00a0February. In April, the unit completed a test run at 100% output, after which it was taken offline for maintenance.<\/p>\n

Shin Wolsong 2\u00a0was restarted in mid-June and final safety checks and commissioning tests have since been completed.<\/p>\n

South Korea now has 24\u00a0operating nuclear power reactors with a combined generating capacity of 21,716\u00a0MWe. Together they account for about 22.5% of the country\u2019s total power capacity. A further four units\u00a0\u2014 all featuring APR1400\u00a0reactors\u00a0\u2014 are currently under construction, which will add another 5600\u00a0MWe of generating capacity by 2018. More units are planned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
