There are NUCLEAR EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS There are four educational institutions where a department of nuclear Seoul National University: 40 Hanyang University: 40 Kyung Hee University: 30 Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology: The 20 (Graduate course) KAIF, a non-profit voluntary membership organization, was founded in 1972 to promote and encourage the development and utilization of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, contributing thereby to the public needs and national interest. It represents and coordinates the interests of government, utilities, consulting firms, manufacturing companies, construction concerns, research institutions and other industrial corporations who are, or expect to be, engaged in some phase of development and /or utilization of nuclear energy. Foreign reactor vendors and engineering consulting firms who have vital interests in Korea are naturally the members of KAIF. Major Activities: Collection and dissemination of general and technical information related to nuclear industry; Consulting services for members in the resolution of problems related to nuclear energy; Development of policies and programs which will enhance the viability of the nuclear industry; Promotion of the serviceablity of nuclear industry for the public interest; O Organization of conferences, seminars, lectures, meetings, etc.; O Activities to acquire public acceptance for nuclear power; O Training of nuclear personnel. The Korea Advanced Energy Research Institute, formerly the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute, was founded in 1959 to serve as a centre for promoting the peaceful uses of nuclear energy in Korea. At present, KAERI consists of four major establishments, and their missions are as follows: |
