'Continued operation' has been approved for Units 3 and 4 of the Kori Nuclear Power Plant in Gijang County, Busan, which are currently suspended.

The Nuclear Safety and Security Commission announced yesterday (October 27) that it approved the continued operation of Kori Units 3 and 4, extending their design life expiration dates—the deadline for possible operation—to September 2034 and August 2035, respectively.

Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power plans to resume operations of the two reactors around the first half of next year after verifying their safety.
