[en] The Korea Electric Power Industry Code (KEPIC) certification program is a system for qualifying the organization in accordance with KEPIC requirements so as to achieve the safety and reliability goals of Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs). The organizations certified by KEA can perform their appropriate code activities for nuclear safety-related items. KEA is finding its new roles for contributing to safety and reliability of NPPs in operation. It is one of those activities that KEPIC experts are studying a new certification program for repair and replacement organization of NPPs, which has been being operated by the National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors (NBBI) in USA, but isn’t adopted by Korean nuclear industries. The kick-off meeting of project committee was held on December, 2017 and established the detailed promotion plan.
