Advanced Power Reactor 1400 (<strong>APR1400</strong>) and Advanced Power Reactor 1000 (APR1000), we are conducting overseas<br />
nuclear power projects as a source for future profit.<br />
Since nuclear power plants were first introduced into Korea, KEPCO has played a leading role in the nuclear power industry<br />
as well with its subsidiaries such as KHNP for nuclear power generation, KOPEC for engineering, KNF for nuclear fuel,<br />
KPS for maintenance, and KEPRI for R&D.<br />
Based on abundant experience accumulated in overseas projects and credibility in global markets, KEPCO leads the Korean<br />
nuclear industry for joint development of overseas nuclear power plant markets.<br />

A Main Player of the Nuclear Renaissance<br />
As the single largest state-owned company in Korea, KEPCO has lighted the way to modernization and prosperity. For the<br />
last 120 years, KEPCO has been in charge of generation, transmission and distribution, and construction and management<br />
of electric facilities. KEPCO's mission is to supply affordable and quality electricity in a stable manner.<br />
Nuclear power is the most economical source of energy for green growth. And the world is seeing the advent of a nuclear<br />
renaissance where some 300 nuclear reactors are expected to be built throughout the world by 2030. KEPCO is the world' s<br />
6th nuclear powerhouse with an installed capacity of 17,716MW as of the end of 2009. KEPCO commercially operates 20<br />
