4 I. Introduction - History of Nuclear Utilization - Importance of “Atoms for Peace” Speech - History of International Nuclear Technology Transfer for Peaceful Uses

5 The 1 st Controlled Chain Reaction The 1 st Controlled Chain Reaction was achieved at the Univ. of Chicago, in a Graphite Pile, CP-1 under the Football Field, by Dr. E. Fermi and his team, on 2 Dec. 1942, as part of the 2 nd World War-time Manhattan Project of the USA.

6 The 1 st Atomic Bomb Test US President Roosevelt made the decision to build an atomic bomb on 9 October, 1941, two months before Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, based on recommendations of the US scientists including Dr. Einstein who warned against the dangers of an atomic bomb to be made by Nazi- controlled Germany sooner or later. The 1 st atomic bomb test, called Trinity was successfully conducted under the New Mexico desert on 16 July 1945.

7 The 1st and 2nd Atomic Bombs US President Harry S. Truman made a decision to use the atomic bombs against Japan. The 1 st atomic bomb, called Little Boy, which was uranium bomb, was dropped to Hiroshima, Japan on 6 August, 1945. The 2 nd atomic bomb, called Fat Man, which was plutonium bomb, was dropped to Nagasaki, Japan on 9 August, 1945. As a result, the 2 nd World War was over and Korea got an independence.

8 Spread of Atomic Bombs The former USSR tested its first atomic bomb in 1948, when the cold war had reached the peak of its intensity. The UK tested its first atomic bomb in 1952. France tested in 1960. China tested in 1964. Those 5 countries – USA, RF (former USSR), UK, France and China, which had possessed atomic bombs, before NPT( Non Proliferation Treaty) took in force in 1970, named as Weapon Countries.

9 “Atoms for Peace” Speech Promoted Nuclear Technology Transfer “Atoms for Peace” speech at the UN General Assembly, which was delivered by the US President, Dwight Eisenhower on 8 December, 1953 proposed to set up an international agency to develop peaceful uses of nuclear energy. This speech marks the beginning of peaceful uses of nuclear energy in the world through technology transfer on nuclear energy.

10 Establishment of the International Atomic Energy Agency As a result of the US President. Dwight Eisenhower’s famous speech, “Atoms for Peace”, the IAEA was established in Vienna, Austria on 29 July 1957. The IAEA has performed two functions – nuclear watch dog and nuclear technology transfer for peaceful purposes.

11 History of International Nuclear Technology Transfer International nuclear technology transfer began when the 1st “Atoms for Peace Conference” was held in August 1955 in Geneva, Swiss. In the Conference, about 1500 participants attended and more than 1000 papers were presented, abolishing the secrecy that until then had shrouded many years of nuclear R&D. In 1950’s only six countries – the US, the UK, France, USSR, Canada and Sweden – took part in building their 1st NPP. All other countries were in due course to turn to one or another of these six pioneers for assistance with their 1st power reactors and subsequent NPP construction programs.

12 II. Korea’s Experience on Nuclear Power Technology Development - Technology Transfer from Overseas - Indigenous Technology Development - Future Plan

13 Korea’s National Nuclear Energy Policy  Basic Principle –Promoting Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy –Securing Nuclear Safety  Goals –To provide a stable electricity supply through the development of nuclear energy –To achieve self-reliance on nuclear technology –To make the nuclear industry one of the major export industries through international cooperation

23 Key Factors for Indigenous Nuclear Power Technology Development Key Factors for Success were: –Government’s strong commitment for indigenous nuclear power technology development –“Technology Transfer Contract” was made separately with foreign prime contractor, when the 1 st KSNP projects, namely Yonggwang units 3&4 were implemented. –NPP Joint-Design was performed, as the vehicles for achievement of self-reliance in nuclear power technology. –Clear definition of scope of works and division of responsibilities were given among the participating organizations, as being shown in the next slide.

35 Bilateral Agreements : with 19 countries –Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Czech, Egypt, France, Germany, Japan, Russia, Spain, Vietnam, Ukraine, U.K., USA & Turkey –Under negotiation with some other countries Participation in International Co-operation Projects for Innovative Nuclear Power Technology Development GIF(2001) INPRO (2001) IV. International Co-operation

36 Conclusive Remarks Nuclear power is essential for electricity supply not only in Korea but also in many parts of the world. In light of Korean experience, the international cooperation is very important for nuclear technology development for peaceful uses. Korea is willing to share its experience on indigenous nuclear technology development with other developing countries, in particular, with Turkey.
