SOUTH KOREA

South Korea is supporting two projects in Ukraine and one in Kazakhstan in partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).  South Korea is proving funding through DOE's Second Line of Defense (SLD) program to equip a border post in Ukraine and an airport in Kazakhstan with radiation detection equipment.  South Korea is also proving funds through the Global Threat Reduction Initiative (GTRI) to move highly radioactive materials from a facility in Ukraine that cannot pay for their safe disposal into a secure storage facility.
