Korea Radioactive Waste Agency
Korea Radioactive Waste Agency is a KOR company active in the nuclear fuel chain as repository.
Operator of the Wolsong disposal centre at Gyeongju, South Korea's only disposal route, sited by referendum in 2005 after nearly twenty years of failed attempts elsewhere. It takes low and intermediate level waste only; the country has no route for its spent fuel.
