Wolsong Unit 2 discharges 29 tons of radioactive waste into ocean, investigation underway

It has been revealed that waste from the liquid radioactive material storage tank of Unit 2 at Wolsong was discharged into the ocean without undergoing sampling analysis.

The Nuclear Safety Commission noted that it received this report from Korea Hydro and Nuclear Power Corporation at 10:23 a.m. on the 12th.

According to the Nuclear Safety Commission, Korea Hydro and Nuclear Power Corporation confirmed that the valve at the tank outlet was open during the preparation process for discharging liquid waste into the ocean (mixing work for sampling analysis) in the morning and immediately closed the valve to prevent leakage.

Subsequently, Korea Hydro and Nuclear Power Corporation analyzed the remaining samples in the tank and reported that the concentration of radioactive materials and the estimated radiation level discharged were at normal discharge levels.
