The transition committee of the new government has been launched and one of
the most important issues is the nuclear power plants and nuclear power policies.
So we are currently looking at the previous records of the Nuclear Safety And
Security Commission (NSASC). The Center of Freedom of Information (CFOI) has
long been questioning problems. However, the NSASC, who were confident about
guaranteeing the security of the nuclear power through the transparency in the
disclosure of information, is still not revealing the list of the information they
have. Along with the frequently happening accidents in the power plants and bribery
scandal regarding their part suppliers, the NSASC was the institution that
received the lowest score in the institution evaluation last year. At the end
of 2012, the list of the information was requested to the NSASC and it was disclosed.
While
looking at the list, we found a document named “Financial Support for
Universities”. Since we were curious about the document, we requested the
information disclosure to the NSASC. Below is the information provided by the
NSASC.

Supporting
universities is allegedly a project that the Ministry of Education, Science,
and Technology used to engage in, even before the launch of the NSASC. This
project supports radiation emergency centers, operates radiation monitoring
centers, and provides financial aid for the purpose of developing technologies
on the radiation safety. The NSASC supported 19 universities with 1.17 billion
won grants in 2011 and 20 universities with 1.39 billion won grants in 2012.
Among these 20 universities, Ulsan University was the largest beneficiary of
the NSASC’s financial support, which received 220 million won for 2 years.
Looking
at the list of the information arouses our curiosity. We will carefully go
through the every element of the disclosed information and request the information
disclosure accordingly. You can find the file disclosed by the NSASC as below. Being
the worst in the institution evaluation of the government ministries and endlessly
occurring problems in the nuclear power industries… the NSASC is at the
center of such issues. Let’s monitor the NSASC together and make the commission
transparent.
