Moreover, among opinion leaders, experts, and academics in Korea who fully understand the international ramifications of the country\u2019s nuclear policy, there is even stronger support to remain fully committed to global norms and the nonproliferation regime. Nevertheless, the ROK nuclear policy community is also strongly supportive of a revised US-ROK civil nuclear cooperation agreement that allows Korea greater freedom to pursue innovative technical approaches so that it can address its waste management and energy security concerns; given the typical length of US 123 agreements, a new US-Korea 123 should ideally avoid placing unnecessary delays and constraints on Korea\u2019s advanced nuclear energy technology R&amp;D plans.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"document-view-image-frame clearfix\"><a class=\"document-view-image\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thegabi.com\/upload\/nuclear\/roundtable\/032\/ROUNDTABLE004.jpg\" data-lightbox=\"image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thegabi.com\/upload\/_thumbs\/nuclear\/roundtable\/032\/ROUNDTABLE004.jpg\" \/><\/a> <a class=\"document-view-image\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thegabi.com\/upload\/nuclear\/roundtable\/032\/ROUNDTABLE005.jpg\" data-lightbox=\"image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thegabi.com\/upload\/_thumbs\/nuclear\/roundtable\/032\/ROUNDTABLE005.jpg\" \/><\/a> <a class=\"document-view-image\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thegabi.com\/upload\/nuclear\/roundtable\/032\/ROUNDTABLE006.jpg\" data-lightbox=\"image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thegabi.com\/upload\/_thumbs\/nuclear\/roundtable\/032\/ROUNDTABLE006.jpg\" \/><\/a> <a class=\"document-view-image\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thegabi.com\/upload\/nuclear\/roundtable\/032\/ROUNDTABLE010.jpg\" data-lightbox=\"image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thegabi.com\/upload\/_thumbs\/nuclear\/roundtable\/032\/ROUNDTABLE010.jpg\" \/><\/a> <a class=\"document-view-image\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thegabi.com\/upload\/nuclear\/roundtable\/032\/ROUNDTABLE011.jpg\" data-lightbox=\"image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thegabi.com\/upload\/_thumbs\/nuclear\/roundtable\/032\/ROUNDTABLE011.jpg\" \/><\/a> <a class=\"document-view-image\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thegabi.com\/upload\/nuclear\/roundtable\/032\/ROUNDTABLE013.jpg\" data-lightbox=\"image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thegabi.com\/upload\/_thumbs\/nuclear\/roundtable\/032\/ROUNDTABLE013.jpg\" \/><\/a> <a class=\"document-view-image\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thegabi.com\/upload\/nuclear\/roundtable\/032\/ROUNDTABLE014.jpg\" data-lightbox=\"image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thegabi.com\/upload\/_thumbs\/nuclear\/roundtable\/032\/ROUNDTABLE014.jpg\" \/><\/a> <a class=\"document-view-image\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thegabi.com\/upload\/nuclear\/roundtable\/032\/ROUNDTABLE015.jpg\" data-lightbox=\"image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thegabi.com\/upload\/_thumbs\/nuclear\/roundtable\/032\/ROUNDTABLE015.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>November 14, 2014 Although 2013 public opinion polls in the ROK regarding nuclear weapons development came as a surprise to many, further examination of survey studies over the past two [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3439,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[52,57],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1555","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nuclear-energy","category-nuclear-energy-workshops"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thegabi.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1555","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thegabi.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thegabi.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thegabi.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thegabi.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1555"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/thegabi.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1555\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3937,"href":"https:\/\/thegabi.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1555\/revisions\/3937"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thegabi.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/3439"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thegabi.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1555"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thegabi.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1555"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thegabi.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1555"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
