Innovating the difficult maintenance of nuclear power plants with robots. Achieving safety and efficiency with the world's first technology.
Korean Nuclear Robotics (KNR) develops and provides specialized maintenance robots for nuclear power plants that are difficult to access, such as those in radiation environments and confined spaces. It has successfully domesticated the world's first "in-boar discharge machining micro-robot" capable of removing foreign objects that have entered the heat transfer tubes within steam generators with high precision. This achievement enables the automation and remote operation of maintenance tasks at nuclear facilities, significantly improving safety and efficiency. - In-boar discharge machining micro-robot: Removes foreign objects within steam generator heat transfer tubes with high precision. This domestically developed technology dramatically reduces the difficulty of maintenance tasks. - Specialized maintenance robots: Safely perform inspection and repair work remotely in radiation environments. Reduces worker exposure and shortens work time. KNR has a track record of transactions with major overseas institutions such as Nawah Energy in the UAE and INETEC in Croatia, and negotiations for MOUs with Romania and China are also underway. It has obtained international certifications ISO 9001/14001/45001 and is actively deploying products and technologies for overseas nuclear power plants, including those in Japan. KNR aims to pave new horizons in nuclear safety through robotic technology and contribute to a sustainable energy society.
