Regional Basic Professional Training Course in Korea

Regional Basic Professional Training Course (BPTC) on Nuclear Safety
The APPRE was promulgated in May 2003, in order to establish an effective national
system for a physical protection of the nuclear materials and the nuclear facilities in
Korea and to prepare a legal and an institutional basis for preventing them from a
radiological disaster as well as establishing the countermeasures against a radiological
emergency. This Law came into force in February 2004. The detailed standards and
criteria for preparing a radiological emergency preparedness plan are described in the
Ministerial Notice No. 2004‐11 by MOST (titled, "Standards on the Establishment and
Implementation of a Radiological Emergency Plan for a Nuclear Licensee").
17.2. IMPLEMENTATION OF THE EMERGENCY
PREPAREDNESS MEASURES
The national radiological emergency plan (the master plan and the yearly implementation
plan of MEST) consists of five parts, namely, the establishment of an emergency
response organization, an emergency classification and response, protective measures,
emergency response facilities and equipment, and emergency training and the exercises,
as shown in Table 1.
