Ministry Extends Construction Licence For Delayed Shin-Hanul Units :: The Independent Global Nuclear News Agency

Ministry Extends Construction Licence For Delayed Shin-Hanul Units :: The Independent Global Nuclear News Agency: South Korea’s energy ministry has extended the validity of the construction licence for Units 3 and 4 at the Shin-Hanul nuclear power station in the southeast of the country by two years until the end of 2023.

The original licence for the two APR1400 units was due to expire later this week, but the project was suspended in 2017 as part of the country’s nuclear phaseout programme.

Under legislation, if a construction plan is not approved within four years of a licence being granted, the licence can be cancelled. The deadline for Shin-Hanul-3 and -4 project is 26 February, Business Korea reported.
