Where we root for our day in silence on our way to work every day at a time when we are comforted after a long tiring day and when our hope miraculously becomes a reality nuclear energy is with us.
The power that adds security to safety, and fills tomorrow with hope, We are conducting research on nuclear energy for all of us.
Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute

KAERI develops technologies for safer and more efficient operation of nuclear power plants–
As well as preventive measures for nuclear power plants
In case of extreme natural disasters like earthquakes and tsunamis and multiple disasters.

We are enhancing the efficiency of nuclear power plant operations by developing nuclear fuel and materials with improved safety and economy –
We safely manage radioactive waste and spent fuel for future generations, and use nuclear energy to reduce particulate matter We are researching technologies to solve social issues.
To develop technologies that add security to safety we are researching nuclear safety.

We are using the research reactor Hanaro to conduct various basic scientific research and develop technologies to promote national industries and improve the welfare of mankind.
We are researching food resources to respond to climate change new radiation convergence technology that will lead new high-value-added industries,
---- and technologies to sustain state-of-the-art science and technology, such as nano IT biotechnology environmental science.
We are researching nuclear energy technology to help everyone live a healthy and happy life all the time.
We are further enhancing technology to anticipate the global markets for nuclear power plant, research reactor and small-sized reactor which are made with our own technology.
We are researching technologies for nuclear energy to prepare for the global decommissioning market, which will become larger in the future, and technologies to be used for development in extreme environments.
Future nuclear power technology will provide a new growth engine for national development, and create valuable jobs. The Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute will lead the way forward.

In the past 60 years,
we have been contributing to national development and growth as well as the the improved quality of life of citizens through innovative research.
We know that the life and safety of citizens are the most valuable things–
We will make continuous efforts to establish safety culture take root by enhancing the safety awareness of individuals.
To solve social issues! To create good jobs! To develop national strategic technologies!
The Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute studies nuclear energy so that dreams will come true and everyone can benefit from it.
KAERI for safety research.
