韩国电力公司(KEPCO)为再建2套“国产”核电机组,与国内三家公司签订了一项价值约10亿美元的合同。 该项合作表明,韩国现在是能够利用自己的资源(不大量依赖西方的投入)从事其雄心勃勃的核电计划的。此KEPCO的合同还突出了作为世界核能增长地区的亚洲的状况。 有史以来第一套“韩国造”核电机组(灵光3号)两个月前才投入满功率运行。灵光核电站4号机组预计在1996年3月开始 Korea Electric Power Company (KEPCO) has built two sets of “domestic-made” nuclear power units and signed a contract worth about one billion U.S. dollars with three domestic companies. The cooperation shows that South Korea is now able to use its own resources (not heavily dependent on Western investment) to engage in its ambitious nuclear power program. This KEPCO contract also highlights the status of Asia as a region where the world’s nuclear energy grows. The first “Korean-made” nuclear power unit (Emigration No. 3) was put into full operation only two months ago. Unit 4 of Lingguang Nuclear Power Plant is expected to begin in March 1996
