A government delegation, including Korea's first vice minister of science and ICT Koo Hyuk-chae, attended the inauguration ceremony for the Atomic Technologies Licensed for Applications at Sea (ATLAS) initiative in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday. The two-day event, held until Thursday local time, marked the launch of the global initiative aimed at supporting the deployment of nuclear-powered vessels and floating reactors.
ATLAS was established by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Korea has identified small modular reactors (SMRs) as one of the seven future technology drivers, with the goal of developing SMR-powered vessels by 2035. The delegation also included officials from the Ministry of Industry and local companies.
