South Korea approved the construction of two nuclear reactors on the nation’s east coast, reviving a project that was scrapped by the former administration, which had pursued an anti-nuclear policy.
The Nuclear Safety and Security Commission greenlighted the building of Shin Hanul No. 3 and 4 reactors in Uljin, it said in a statement Thursday. The reactors will each have a capacity of 1.4 gigawatts, it added.
