The U.S. and South Korea have maintained a strong political alliance since
the establishment of the ROK after World War II. There have been many
manifestations of this alliance, including close cooperation in energy--R&D
collaboration, industry integration, etc. The US-Korea energy partnership
continues today in many ways, including advanced nuclear development,
hydrogen and fuel cell research and commercialization, etc. These tangible
examples of US-Korea energy cooperation represent only a small fraction of
possible opportunities.
