Transactions of the Korean Nuclear Society Virtual Autumn Meeting December 17-18 Influence of Nuclear Safety Culture on Incident History of Nuclear Power Plants in Korea

Nuclear Safety Culture is “that assembly of characteristics and attitudes in organizations and individuals which establishes that, as an overriding priority, nuclear power plant safety issues receive the attention warranted by their significance.” This term first appeared in the report of the IAEA after the Chernobyl accident in 1986. With this accident, the importance of safety culture has been paid attention and international consultations have been sought to promote nuclear safety culture.
