Singapore targets SMRs as South Korea formalises nuclear ties

This agreement marks the first civil nuclear power pact between these two nations.

The Energy Market Authority of Singapore (EMA) and Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (KHNP) signed their first Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on civil nuclear energy capability building in Small Modular Reactors (SMRs).

The agreement formalises civil nuclear energy cooperation between the two and establishes a framework for collaboration.

The key areas of cooperation will include conducting joint studies of SMRs, human resource development and training, and sharing of technical information and best practices in the field.

The MoU was signed by KHNP Acting President & CEO Daewook Chun and EMA Chief Executive Puah Kok Keong during the Korea-Singapore Summit last 1 March.

KHNP is a government-owned enterprise under the Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO).

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
