Workshop – Opportunities and Challenges in U.S.-South Korea Civil Nuclear Cooperation
A workshop convened by EIRP and the Korea Atomic Industrial Forum
As the Trump administration works to accelerate domestic deployment of nuclear energy, EIRP and the Korea Atomic Industrial Forum convened an off-the-record discussion to assess opportunities and challenges for U.S.-South Korea cooperation in the United States and in third countries. KAIF represents about five hundred firms in South Korea’s nuclear sector. EIRP Senior Advisor Paul Saunders moderated the session, which took place in Washington on November 20, 2025.
During the session, KAIF representatives made two on-the-record presentations, one that made the case for international cooperation on nuclear energy and another to provide background on KAIF and South Korea’s wider nuclear sector.
An EIRP report based on the discussion is forthcoming.
