CORDEL Workshop Korea 2024

The 5th CORDEL Regional Workshop on the theme: Accelerating nuclear deployment through international cooperation, took place on 21-23 May 2024 in Busan, Korea. 

Hosted by KHNP and KEPCO E&C, the workshop highlighted the approaches that have been undertaken to understand the lessons and best practice from the successful delivery of the Barakah NPP project in the UAE. The workshop also provided insights into how the supply chain will have to respond to this increased demand; how the sector will have to work to develop the skills required to support its expansion; and what role international organizations must play to ensure that their efforts are complementary in supporting growth.

Previous regional workshop series:

Harmonization to support the operation and new build of NPPs including SMRs

The World Nuclear Association held its fourth event in its CORDEL (Cooperation in Reactor Design Evaluation and Licensing) regional workshop series on 18-20 May 2022 in Lyon, France, in conjunction with EDF, Framatome and EUR.

The workshop focused on harmonization to support the operation and new build of NPPs including SMRs, welcoming participants from across the world from industry and regulatory bodies. The workshop series was launched in 2016 by the World Nuclear Association’s CORDEL Working Group, and its Long-term Operation Task Force. The outputs from the workshops are used to help address regional issues, and where necessary, inform the Association’s own global programme of work.
