초록

The current thesis, through empirical research, aims to understand the perceptional status of the international cooperation of nuclear safety between Korea and Japan after the Fukushima nuclear accident in 2011. In this context, the thesis also provided some applicable suggestions which could help develop an appropriate international cooperation system and nuclear safety policy.
Results showed that there was a marked difference in perception between the Korean and Japanese nuclear power experts regarding international cooperation for nuclear safety. It was confirmed that international cooperation between neighboring countries was ineffective. This is because the countries are not aware of the possible nuclear threats from their neighboring countries, instead they considered it to be a problem for others and not related to their own safety. In particular, there was a very negative perception in Japan of the establishment of regional safety organizations and the setting of common goals and safety standards. The common perception of domestic people was that if the domestic nuclear power plants are safe, there is nothing to worry about the safety and possible threats from the nuclear power plants in the neighboring countries. However, since a nuclear accident in a neighboring country can cause damage to one's own country, international cooperation in nuclear safety among East Asian countries should be promoted.
