Summary
South Korea has set a goal of launching its first nuclear-powered submarine in the mid-2030s and deploying it with the Navy in the late 2030s. IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi made the remarks during the IAEA Board of Governors meeting in Vienna on Monday, as South Korea pushes to build conventionally armed, nuclear-powered submarines following security agreements reached at a summit between President Lee Jae Myung and US President Donald Trump in October last year. At a press conference in June, Grossi said a solid agreement between South Korea and the IAEA should alleviate any proliferation concerns related to Seoul's nuclear-powered submarine project.
Furthermore, South Korea has a CSA with the IAEA as part of its nonproliferation obligations. "We are proceeding with the necessary procedures to demonstrate that we are taking a transparent approach," an official of Seoul's foreign ministry said.
