Notes

KHNP has chosen Gijang County as the candidate site for South Korea's first SMR. The planned i-SMR plant is targeted for completion in 2035. The i-SMR is South Korea's proprietary next-generation SMR, a PWR plant with electrical output of 170 MW. The Gijang SMR facility would have a capacity of about 700 MW, likely with four SMR units (680 MW total).
