국제 경쟁력 강화를 위한 국내 원전산업 발전 방향에 대한 고찰

As the importance of responding to climate change and energy security increases, nuclear power is once again drawing attention as a low-carbon base load power source. In particular, the structural increase in electricity demand driven by the rapid growth of the artificial intelligence, data center, and semiconductor industries, the intermittency of renewable energy, and global supply chain uncertainties are acting as major factors re-emphasizing the strategic value of nuclear power. This paper aims to suggest directions for the development of the nuclear power industry by comparing and reviewing recent policy changes in major nuclear-owning countries and examining the competitiveness of the domestic nuclear industry and case studies of its industrial ecosystem.
