An artificial sun research facility will be constructed in Naju, South Jeolla Province, aimed at transforming Korea's energy and industrial landscape. The facility will utilize nuclear fusion to generate energy, using deuterium and tritium from seawater and lithium, resulting in zero carbon emissions and minimal radioactive waste.

This initiative is part of a larger energy package that includes KEPCO's headquarters, the Korea Power Exchange, and various energy technologies. The project is anticipated to create a significant energy hub and foster industries related to superconducting materials, AI, and power technologies.

It aims to enhance Korea's energy security and position the country as a next-generation energy exporter, offering commercial power generation solutions and independent power systems. This national strategic project is critical for the nation's future and requires decisive actions for success.
