The international cooperation activities for peaceful uses of nuclear energy in Korea started with the cooperation and assistance provided by advanced countries in the early 1960s when a feasibility study for a nuclear power reactor was carried out for its introduction into the Korean power system. Currently, we have 9 nuclear energy cooperation agreements concluded with foreign governments and also maintain cooperation relations with power companies, research institutes, A/E companies, manufacturers, etc. in 15 countries. The international cooperation activities cover a wide range of nuclear industries from design of nuclear power plant to nuclear fuel cycle, but need to expand into exchange of co-operation for noncommercial nuclear safety and cultural aspects. It is relatively simple and easy to realize international nuclear cooperation on commercial base such as nuclear reactor procurement contract, but unfavorable result can be expected from noncommercial transactions.
