To meet the increasing demand of nuclear fuel, KEPCO NF completed construction of new fuel manufacturing facilities at the end of 1997 in addition to the previous PWR fuel manufacturing facility. The annual production capacity becomes 400MTU for PWR fuel and 400MTU for PHWR fuel.
With this expansion of the fuel production capacity, KEPCO NF established a firm basis capable of exporting fuel to overseas. In addition, by undertaking the PHWR fuel manufacturing for PHWRs in Korea, KEPCO NF becomes to have the fuel manufacturing technology for both PWRs and PHWRs.
