A team of International Atomic Energy Agency experts began inspecting Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power's Wolseong Unit 1 reactor in South Korea in response to heightened safety concerns following the Fukushima Daiichi incident in Japan. The plant's operating license expires in November, and the country's Nuclear Safety and Security Commission is set to decide on its extension, a company spokesman said. But the IAEA inspection is separate from the commission's review, the spokesman added. Fox Business/Dow Jones Newswires (5/29)
