| description | This paper analyzes patterns in the perception of nuclear power by leadership groups in South Korea, in order to establish the necessary foundation for the direction of effective communication pathways on this topic. The most important considerations for nuclear power policy in South Korea appeared to be gaining social acceptance and a national consensus, followed by energy security and economic development strategies. Currently, nuclear power generation developments in Korea are at a standstill, due to a blind focus on mechanical and technological solutions, and an over-emphasized consideration of public concerns. It is emphasized that a new legislative framework must be developed for the technical decision making process. Additionally, this framework and paradigm change must be centralized, considering a democratic platform in order to regain public trust. |
