en.Wedoany.com Reported - Changwon National University and the Innovative Small Modular Reactor Technology Development Project Group (SMR Project Group) have recently joined forces to launch a joint initiative aimed at enhancing the competitiveness of the future nuclear energy industry.

The two parties signed a business agreement (MOU) at the main campus of Changwon National University on the same day, agreeing to jointly advance the development of small modular reactor (SMR) technology and build a region-based nuclear power manufacturing innovation ecosystem. Seven officials, including Lee Yoo-han, Director of the Atomic Energy and Energy Convergence Center at Changwon National University, and Kim Han-kyun, Head of the Innovative Small Modular Reactor Technology Development Project Group, attended the signing ceremony.

Under the agreement, the two sides will establish mutual cooperation mechanisms in multiple areas, including SMR technology development, non-nuclear verification, digital twin and artificial intelligence-based validation, standardization and certification, professional talent cultivation, and industrial ecosystem expansion. Going forward, the parties plan to actively collaborate on small modular reactor development projects and related research, jointly driving the development of the future energy industry and contributing to the revitalization of the regional economy.

Lee Yoo-han, Director of the Atomic Energy and Energy Convergence Center at Changwon National University, stated that this agreement will serve as an opportunity to further strengthen the foundation for industry-academia-research cooperation, focusing on cultivating professional talent to lead the future nuclear energy industry and advancing related technology development.

Kim Han-kyun, Head of the Innovative Small Modular Reactor Technology Development Project Group, expressed his expectation that through technological innovation and the expansion of the empirical foundation in the SMR field, this collaboration will contribute to securing global competitiveness for South Korea's nuclear power industry.
