South Korea's Nuclear Safety and Security Commission approved a 10-year operational life extension for the Kori nuclear reactors units 3 and 4, allowing them to run until 2034 and 2035 respectively.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Climate Tech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You have a clear signal that South Korea is extending the life of existing nuclear plants, creating an opening for firms servicing reactor maintenance and safety upgrades. That market just expanded by a decade for you to focus on now.
