Transportation System
Hanjin Cheongjeong Nuri
Hanjin Cheongjeong Nuri, a radioactive waste transport ship, was built to safely transport radioactive wastes generated from each nuclear power plant and nuclear-related facilities to the disposal facility.
Characteristics of Hanjin Cheongjeong Nuri
It is designed and built with double-hull and double engine structure to prevent leakage in case of an accident.
An accident is prevented by state-of-the-art electronic equipment such as Automatic Identification System (AIS) and Automatic Radar Plotting Aids (ARPA).
- The radiation level in the ship is automatically monitored by radiation monitoring system.
The radiation level in the ship is automatically monitored by radiation monitoring system.
Radiation protection and emergency response plans are established to prepare for an unexpected accident.
Safety is further guaranteed by prominent sailing personnel and radiation safety officers on board.
