South Korea has become the sixth-largest nuclear
power producing country in the world.
Korea,... which currently has 25 operational
reactors, has plans for another eight by 2022.
The nation's nuclear security watchdog approved
plans this week to build two nuclear power
plants in the southern port city of Ulsan.
That project will cost seven-and-a-half billion
U.S. dollars.
Officials say the reactors will boost Korea's
electricity supply and benefit regional economic
development.
The U.S. is the top country in the world for
nuclear power with 99 reactors,... followed
by France, Japan, Russia and China.
