Happy Tomorrow Beyond Safety

Welcome to KORAD

As the designated implementing organization under the Radioactive Waste Management Act, the Korea Radioactive Waste Agency (KORAD) is responsible for the safe management of all types of radioactive waste generated in Korea, with safety always being our top priority.

KORAD is committed to protecting people and the environment through the meticulous management of radioactive waste. Since 2009, we have been fully responsible for the construction and operation of low- and intermediate-level radioactive waste (LILW) disposal facilities in Korea.

In addition to managing LILW, KORAD actively supports the activities of the spent nuclear fuel (SNF) management, with the aim of facilitating the prompt establishment of a national policy. KORAD plans to immediately commence the construction of a generic Underground Research Laboratory (URL) to advance high-level radioactive waste management in Korea. We are also preparing for the safe management of decommissioning waste that will be generated from the decommissioning of nuclear power plants in the 2020s.

Furthermore, KORAD places great emphasis on public communication and research and development, striving to enhance stakeholder trust and confidence in the safe and transparent management of radioactive waste.

We do our best to keep clean environment for the present and future generations with your supports and interests.

Thank you.

President & CEO
