Joint Declaration of the Denuclearization of the Korean Pe ninsula(feb. 1992) 1. The South and the North shall not test, manufacture, prod uce, receive, possess, store, deploy or use nuclear weapons. 2. The South and the North shall use nuclear energy solely f or peaceful purposes. 3. The South and the North shall not possess nuclear reproce ssing and uranium enrichment facilities.
Four Principles on the Peaceful Use of Nuclear Technology(Sept. 2004) Korea Reaffirms that it does not have any intention to develop or possess nuclear weapons. Korea will firmly maintain its principle of a nuclear transparency, and it will strengthen its cooperation with the international community to this end. Korea will faithfully abide by international agreements on nuclear nonproliferation With the confidence of the international community, Korea will expand its peaceful use of nuclear energy.

For 1 year, progressing the export project
Speech of Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade 2009.7.2. : Secretary of MFAT, Briefing - ASAP, It s necessary to change Ko-US Nuclear Agreement. - We will deliberate how to make a commercial profit on supply of nuclear fuel & management of NSF 2010.1.25-26. Deputy Secretary, talking with US authority. (2010.1.27.Yonhap News) - (On ko-us Nuclear agreement), KO-US authorities are agreed with investigating Technical & Economical reasons.
Hanara-party(Government party) s speech on Kor-US nuclear Agreement 2009.6.16. 한나라당정책위 한미원자력협정에핵연료재처리금지문제가평화적핵주권에합당하게완화되는쪽으로개정되어야한다. 2009.6.18. 한나라당김성조정책위의장 (2009.6.18. 뉴시스 ) - ( 핵주권론 ) 문제가남북간긴장이고조됐다고그긴장을피하기위해논의를자제할문제는아니라고생각한다. 당연히우리가가져야할권리를요구하는행위다. - ( 한나라당정책의장단논의로발표한핵주권론발표가북한에위협일수있다는지적에대해 ) 핵과관련해모든정보를개방하고있는우리나라정도의신뢰도라면일본정도의핵주권을갖는게부당한것은아니지않는가? 2010.3.9. 한나라당최구식의원주최 사용후핵연료이슈와과제 정책토론회 - 정몽준한나라당대표질문 일본은 ( 사용후핵연료 ) 재처리시설에간해미국으로부터포괄적동의를받아냈다는데우리는왜그렇게하지못하는가?

Nuclear waste policy in Korea (National Nuclear Committee s Decision) Date 220 th (Jul, 1988) 247 th (Jun, 1998) 253th (Dec, 2004) 255 th (Dec, 2008) Decision Until 1995, Construct Low & Intermediate level Nuclear Waste(LILW) Disposal Site. Until 1997, Construct interim storage facility of spent nuclear Fuel(SF) Until Making plan on SF management, Interim Storage on-site. Preferentially, Construct LILW Disposal Site. Decision making process( pubic & stakeholder engagement) for interim SF storage SFR(Sodium-cooled Fast Reactor), AFC(Advanced Fuel Cycle) R&D Plan Nuclear Fuel R&D Plan, Using Pyroprocessing Technology
Pyro-Processing( 乾式再處理, 高溫冶金方式 ) Government say, This is NOT Reprocessing. Just Recycling a Energy Resource!! We separate uranium in TRU, so we can t make plutonium. We can reduce volume of spent-fuel to 1/20. We can reduce area nuclear waste dump to 1/100. We can reduce radioactivity of waste to 1/1000. But We mistrust, Technical possibility. Really reduce volume of spent-fuel? Nuclear-fantasy : they wish to complete nuclear fuel cycle and to increase budget scale on nuclear R&D. First of all, We refuse nuclear power plant.

Reprocessing & Pyroprocessing?
Conclusion It s necessary to Bring up NSF Issue in Korean Civil-society. Many Korea people DO NOT KNOW spent nuclear fuel issues. Needs for monitoring programs on NSF & Proliferation It s necessary to deliberate among various stakeholders. Insufficiency of experience on deliberate democracy. The Contradiction of Nuclear Industry promotion & Nuclear Waste Issues. Solution of Nuclear waste issues More New NPPs.
