South Korea to complete design of new mid-size reactor
South Korea is all set to complete a ``standard design'' for a new type of mid-size fission reactor unit by the end of this year as part of its efforts to lead the global atomic energy market, the government said on Monday.
South Korea shut down two 1,000-megawatt nuclear reactors at separate plants on Tuesday, following apparently unrelated systems malfunctions that triggered calls for a safety review.
