The news out of Abu Dhabi on Dec. 27, 2009 was the direct
motivation to write this book. South Korean consortium has just won
the largest single nuclear power plant construction project in
recent years to deliver four state-of-the-art Generation III
pressurized water reactors to the United Arab Emirates. This book
will bring to life the agonizing process of pursuing peaceful
nuclear energy in South Korea during the last half-century for the
"Atoms for Peace" dream from a poor developing country. Particular
focus is placed on the localization process of nuclear power
technology since 1980 from an insider's view. This case study on
the Korean nuclear power technology could shed some light for other
nations as they enter the brave new world of nuclear renaissance.
Once on the Silk Road countries like China, India, UAE and Turkey
show the most active nuclear power programs together with Japan and
Korea today. After all, history repeats itself as new technologies
transfer through the Nuclear Silk Road, crossing civilizations.
