Notes

South Korea secured its most significant nuclear export deal in over a decade — a consortium led by KHNP clinched a 26 trillion won ($19 billion) contract to build two APR-1000 nuclear power reactors in the Czech Republic at Dukovany. This is the largest Korean nuclear export contract in history and validates KHNP as a tier-1 global nuclear builder alongside Rosatom and EDF. Combined with KHNP's SMR ambitions via the i-SMR programme, this positions South Korea as the world's most commercially active nuclear exporter.
