We will do our best so that all Korean procurement items are consistently within schedule."
The accomplishment of this milestone is the result of extensive pre-fabrication works including practical experience on three full-scale . Issues related to regulator and safety requirements remain to be resolved before vacuum vessel fabrication activity can accelerate.
