2017년 11월 15일, 경북 포항시 북구 북쪽 9km 지역에서 발생한 규모 5.4의 지진이 국민들을 공포에 떨게 했습니다.

중앙재난안전대책본부는 ""포항 지진으로 551억원의 재산피해가 발생했다""는 조사 결과를 밝혔고 정부는 피해복구에 1445억원을 투입하였습니다.

이번 포항 지진은 2016년 9월 12일 경상북도 경주시에서 발생했던 지진보다는 그 규모가 작았지만 진원지의 깊이가 얕아 많은 건물들이 파손되어 수많은 이재민들이 발생하였으며, 대학수학능력시험이 일주일 연기되는 이례적인 일이 있었습니다.

하지만 다행히 이번 지진이 국내 원자력 발전소 운영에 영향을 미치지는 않았습니다. 한국 수력 원자력은 포항 지진 진앙지에서 가장 가까운 경북 경주시 월성 원자력 본부 원전 6기를 비롯한 국내 원전 24기에 모두 이상이 없었음을 밝혔습니다.

그러나 경주와 포항에서 발생한 지진으로 한반도가 더이상 지진에 안전한 지역이 아니라는 점과 앞으로 더 큰 지진이 발생할 가능성을 대비해 체계적인 준비가 시급하다는 의견이 커졌습니다.

그로 인해 신규 원전 백지화 및 노후 원전 수명연장 금지 등을 골자로 하는 문재인 정부의 에너지 탈환 정책이 재조명 되었습니다.

찬반 논란이 거세게 불었던 신고리 원전 5,6호기 건설 중단건의 경우, 준비없는 급격한 원전 축소는 안된다는 의견이 반영된 ""신고리 5,6호기 공론화 위원회""의 투표 결과에 따라 건설이 재개되었지만,

그 대신 신고리 5,6호기의 핵심 설비 내진 성능을 규모 7.4로 대폭 강화하기로 결정하였고, 그 외 모든 국내 원전도 2018년 6월까지 7.0으로 내진 성능을 보강하는 원전 안전 기능 강화방안이 발표되었습니다.

이외에도 정부는 신규원전 건설계획을 전면중단하고, 에너지 수급 안전성 확인 후 월성 1호기 가동을 중단하며, 천연 가스와 신재생 에너지를 확대하고 원전 해체 연구소를 설립한다는 내용을 담은 탈원전 로드맵을 발표하였습니다.

----English----

On November 15, 2017, a 5.4-magnitude earthquake occurred 9 km north of Buk-gu, a district in Pohang in the Gyeongsang Province, and triggered a tremendous amount of fear nationwide.

According to the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasure Headquarters, ""55.1 billion won worth of property damage was caused by the Pohang earthquake,"" and the Korean government announced its plans to inject 144.5 billion won into the restoration project.

The magnitude of the Pohang earthquake was smaller than the earthquake that struck Gyeongju on September 12, 2016. However, the epicenter of the Pohang earthquake was more shallow, and as a result, it destroyed numerous buildings and left a great number of people homeless. Due to the earthquake, the College Scholastic Ability Test was unprecedentedly postponed by a week.

Fortunately though, nuclear power plants were not affected by the Pohang earthquake. Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Co., Ltd. (KHNP) reported that all 24 nuclear plants, including the six nearest plants located in the Wolsong Nuclear Power Complex in Gyeongju in the North Gyeongsang Province, were found safe.

Nevertheless, the earthquakes in Gyeongju and Pohang made people realize that the Korean Peninsula is not safe from the threat of earthquakes, and raised awareness for the need of systematic preparations for bigger earthquakes that may hit Korea.

This shed light on the renewable energy policies of President Moon Jae-in, which prohibit construction of new nuclear plants and suspend extended operations of older nuclear plants.

In the case of the controversial suspension of construction for units 5 and 6 at the Shin Kori Nuclear Reactors, construction resumed due to the decision made by the Citizens' Jury, which claimed that nuclear reactors should not be hastily phased out without necessary preparations.

But at the same time, the Nuclear Plant Safety Upgrade Policy announced that the Shin Kori reactors unit 5 and 6 will be upgraded to withstand earthquakes up to a 7.4 magnitude, and that others on the peninsula will be upgraded to withstand 7.0-magnitude earthquakes by June 2018.

In addition, the Korean Government announced its roadmap to phase out nuclear power plants, which includes: Canceling construction plans for new reactors, suspending the operations of Wolsong reactor unit 1 after ensuring the supply of sufficient energy, increasing the usage of natural gas and renewable energy, and establishing a research institute for nuclear decommissioning.
