The World Nuclear Association, an international confederation of companies in the field of atomic power generation, has categorized Korea as the world's fifth-largest exporter of nuclear plants. The WNA defined Korea as a "major exporter of nuclear technology" after the country won an order last December to build a power plant in the UAE.
The biggest exporters are the U.S., Canada, France, and Russia. With the UAE order, Korea has turned from an importer into an exporter of nuclear power technology.
A spokesman with the Korea Hydro and Nuclear Power said, the designation represents "official recognition from a reputable international organization" and will help the country win more orders.
The WNA is a non-profit, independent agency established in 2001 to promote the peaceful use of nuclear energy and develop the nuclear power industry. It consists of about 180 organizations from around the world.
