The country’s Foreign Minister Cho Hyun said the United States and South Korea have agreed to discuss nuclear fuel reprocessing following a summit between US President Donald Trump and South Korean President Lee Jae-myung this week.
“We operate 26 nuclear power plants, buying and bringing in fuel for them every time ... We have been feeling the necessity of being able to reprocess it and to make our own fuel through concentrates,” Cho said in a live televised interview on Thursday.
