감사원 "월성1호기 경제성 불합리하게 낮게 평가"<br /><br />South Korea's 'Wolsong-one' nuclear reactor was found to have been undervalued before its earlier-then-scheduled closure last year.<br />That's according to state auditors which on Tuesday said that the Korea Hydro Nuclear Power Corporation had undervalued the reactor's "economic viability"...<br />by not amending sales figures in a projection report that initially showed that the unit price of electricity was to fall.<br />The government watchdog, however, did not make any judgement on the validity of the early closure of South Korea's second-oldest nuclear reactor...adding that there were other factors...such as safety and the opinions of local residents.<br />The decision to close the reactor has been a hot topic in domestic politics as it came after the Moon administration laid out its nuclear-free energy initiatives in 2017.<br />
