Hyundai E&C has developed and tested specialized excavation equipment for used nuclear fuel disposal facilities as part of a government-funded R&D project. The equipment, designed for deposition holes, features a foldable cutterhead for repeated use and was verified through full-scale rock excavation in an underground research tunnel.

Draft licensing and safety rules enable private and foreign participation in nuclear energy development, with operators required to demonstrate financial and technical capabilities across the fuel cycle.
