In February 1990, KINS was established with the aim of protecting people and the environment from radiological hazards.
Just as we have protected people’s lives from radiological hazards up to this day, we will make our utmost efforts to bring people safer through more reliable safety regulations.
While safety regulation was focused on safety review and inspection in its nascent stage, regulatory requirements for safety review have been developed and regulatory systems have much improved with the introduction of Korean standard nuclear power plants.
KINS has been expanding the width and depth of regulation to promote radiation safety according to internal and external environmental changes.
We conduct safety reviews and inspections in a reasonable manner on the use of radioisotope which has increased by 16 times compared to 1990.
As people’s interest and concern over radiation in the natural environment increases, we are dedicated to reassuring people by broadening the range of radiation safety regulation.
While we had to learn from other countries with advanced nuclear technology in the past, now KINS became a leading contributor to global radiation safety by sharing our technology and experience with the international community.
KINS has communicated with the public through various channels and built trust through voluntary and transparent information sharing.
Efforts we have put into radiation protection after experiencing the Fukushima accident, earthquakes at Gyeongju and Pohang, and incidents related to radiation in the natural environment have made our nation safer and our future brighter.
Just as we have protected people’s lives from radiological hazards up to this day, we will make our utmost efforts to bring people safer through more reliable safety regulations.
