Q&A with the UN Secretary General-[2]

What do you expect the results to be achieved through the Seoul Summit? ▲ I think that there will be achievements in 3 fields. Firstly, capability of each nation will be strengthened. There will be examination of each nation's implementation report on the management of Highly Enriched Uranium and Plutonium, and their physical defense measures taken at the nuclear facilities. Issues regarding reinforcement of the management of radioactive substances will also be discussed in depth. Second achievement will be the reinforcement of the system of nuclear security and safety at multilevel. Especially it is essential to make efforts to strenghten the fuctions of IAEA. Signing of agreements such as Fissile Material Cut-off Treaty is also an urgent task. At the Seoul Summit, detailed action plans at multilevel are to be suggested. Last of all, the cooperation of government and private sectors which is necessary for strengthening nuclear security and safety, will be enhanced. At the time of the Fukushima Nuclear Accident, there was a wide gap between the views of government and private sectors regarding safety of nuclear plants. Considering this point, Korean government's effort by hosting Nuclear Industry Summit and Nuclear Security Symposium before the Seoul Summit has very meaningful.
