Nuclear Safety and Security Commission (NSSC) Appointed Lawyer Son Chang-yeol as ‘Nuclear Safety Ombudsman’
On June 5th, NSSC stated the Nuclear Safety and Security Commission had appointed HMP lawyer Son Chang-yeol as its 3rd Nuclear Safety Ombudsman. Before joining HMP, Son served as the assistant prosecutor general for Chuncheon District Prosecutor’s Office. He also serves as an adviser to the Ministry of Environment and an Ombudsman to the Korea Land & Housing Corporation. The position of Nuclear Safety Ombudsman was first introduced in 2013, in order to prevent corruption and irregularities in the nuclear industry. The ombudsman system has so far received 83 reports, and informants can be awarded up to one billion won. Kim Younghwan, Chief Regulatory Officer of the NSSC, said, “the Commission expects that the ombudsman system, along with a special judicial police system for nuclear safety that is scheduled to launch on June 21st, will contribute to the advanced security of nuclear and radiation system.”
