Redefining the U.S.-South Korea Partnership on Nuclear Technologies and Cybersecurity
The November 2025 U.S.-South Korea Joint Fact Sheet opened the door to renewed discussions on South Korea's civil uranium enrichment and spent fuel reprocessing and closer strategic alignment on cyberspace policies and cooperation, expanding the traditional areas of alliance cooperation to encompass civil nuclear energy and cyberspace.
The Lee Jae Myung administration plans to construct additional reactors at home and abroad, and its forthcoming cybersecurity strategy is expected to reaffirm the country's ambitions as an "AI powerhouse" in the cyber domain and tighten regulations on the private sector. Potential misalignment on scope and policy direction risks slowing momentum and creating new points of contention.
Join KEI for a discussion on opportunities and challenges facing growing nuclear and cyber cooperation between the United States and South Korea. The research presented here will appear in the Spring/Summer 2026 issue of Korea Policy, KEI's flagship academic journal.
