It was found that the Board of Audit and Inspection rejected or dismissed all requests for public interest audits filed by environmental and civic groups against Choi Jae-hyung, director of the Audit Committee. Those who made a request for the audit urged the prosecution to conduct a thorough investigation of Mr. Choi and to establish a safety investigation committee for the Wolseong nuclear power plant. Energy Conversion Forum, Nuclear Safety and Future, Residents Vote Against the Construction of Wolseong Nuclear Garbage Site Ulsan Movement Headquarters, Opposition to Additional Construction of Wolseong Nuclear Garbage Site Gyeongju Citizens’ Countermeasure Committee held a press conference on the 14th, and the auditor responded to their request for public interest audit. He said that he had dismissed his sir. They said, “In order to fit into the conclusion that the government’s closure of Wolseong Unit 1 was unfair, they distorted the economic evaluation of the Wolseong Unit 1 audit subject, excluding safety and residents’ acceptance, and compelled statements and false statements in the audit process. He committed illegal and unfair acts,” and filed a request for a public interest audit with 1191 citizens across the country in August last year. The auditor dismissed or dismissed this’fit-to-fit audit’ on the grounds that “the prosecution is under investigation”, and the results were recently notified to them. The Energy Forum said, “The results of the review by the Auditor are merely a repetition of the answers that President Choi and the Auditor had given to issues raised in the National Assembly and the media. It is one of the contents that unilaterally protects and rationalizes Director Choi and the Auditor,” he said. We have to investigate and face severe punishment,” he urged. They said, “It was already confirmed in the related ruling that Wolseong Unit 1 was not able to secure the safety necessary to extend its lifespan, but it caused a lot of controversy and confusion by excluding safety and residents’ acceptance from the evaluation process during the audit process. . “Economic evaluation that does not reflect risk costs (safety) is meaningless as a book evaluation in accounting.” Regarding the recent outbreak of tritium at the Wolseong nuclear power plant, these groups also said, “It is true that the safety concerns of Wolseong Units 1-4, which are heavy water reactor type nuclear power plants, have been particularly greater among domestic nuclear power plants.” After suffering), KHNP said that it would improve the seismic performance of 24 domestic nuclear power plants, but the Wolseong units 1-4 reactors consist of 380 pressure tubes, which is practically impossible because the thickness of these 380 pressure tubes must be increased. Wolseong Nuclear Power Plant pointed out that if a large-scale earthquake occurs in the vicinity, safety may be seriously impaired.” “Wolseong Nuclear Power Plant has various safety concerns in the event of fire, emergency power, and emergency water supply, but the nuclear safety committee, which is a regulatory body, did not function properly.” It urged to establish and operate an’Investigation Committee’. On the other hand, the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy said on the report that’the auditor initiated an audit against the Ministry of Industry as to whether it was legally wrong to carry out the policy to reverse the nuclear power plant by reversing the policy sequence.’ It is judged that there is no legal problem in establishing the 8th basic plan for power supply and demand without modification of the basic plan.” Quoting Professor Jeong Bum-jin of Kyung Hee University, etc., reported that “the government ignored all legal procedures and set the answer for post-nuclear power, and fitted the basic and electric power plan there.” By Park Ki-yong, staff reporter [email protected]
