The South Korean government launched an unexpected initiative to expand the number of state-owned nuclear power plant workers in order to prepare for two major major major projects: one is to seek orders for the construction of Czech nuclear power plants, and the other is to build a semiconductor industry cluster in the southwestern region of South Korea. Over the past four years, the staffing establishment of public institutions belonging to nuclear power plants has continued to shrink, but starting this year, the scale of staffing has stopped falling and rebounded. The reconstruction of the talent system to support the revival of the “Korea Nuclear Power” is progressing at an accelerated pace. According to data, the total number of authorized personnel of the four public institutions related to nuclear power this year was 22,929, a slight increase from 2,879 last year. According to industry analysts, the rebound in manpower has bottomed out this year because the government raised temporary public recruitment posts in nuclear power-related institutions such as the Korea Hydropower and Nuclear Power Company at the beginning of the year. The government also plans to expand the recruitment of formal staff in the second half of the year.
