Korean nuclear power sticks clones
The Korea Nuclear Safety and Security Commission reported that the No. 2 reactor of the Shin Kori power plant and the No. 1 reactor of the Shin Wolsong power plant would have to be shut down because inspectors discovered many components. not standard in two ovens.
South Korean officials ordered a halt to the use of two nuclear reactors after discovering they used substandard components.
Local media quoted the Korean Nuclear Safety and Security Commission as saying that the No. 2 reactor of the Shin Kori power plant and the No. 1 power plant of Shin Wolsong will have to shut down due to the bars. Multiple detection of non-standard components in two furnaces. They will only work again after engineers replace all non-standard components, the BBC reported.

In addition, the Nuclear Safety and Security Committee extended the maintenance period for two other reactors at two factories, Shin Kori and Shin Wolsong, for the same reason.
The incident came after two reactors in the Yeonggwang nuclear power plant had to shut down in November last year due to 7,500 components failing to meet the standards in five plant reactors. Authorities are surprised because the supplier still has international standards certificates for those components.
Mr. Hong Suk-woo, Minister of Korean Knowledge Economy, said that substandard components include many "unimportant" parts such as cooling fans, fuses, and electrical switches. They are still used in other industries, but to be used in nuclear power plants, they must meet some international standards of quality.
Earlier, in May, police arrested six nuclear power engineers and component suppliers who were involved in supplying substandard components to the Yeonggwang nuclear power plant.
South Korea owns 23 nuclear reactors and they meet about a third of its electricity needs.
