The Korea Institute of Nuclear Safety (KINS;) is a government-funded technical expert organization in Daejeon, South Korea, which aims to develop and implement regulations for nuclear safety.
KINS was established in February 1990, and supports the Nuclear Safety and Security Commission in technical aspects of nuclear safety regulation; "including safety reviews, inspections, education, and safety research, based on technical knowledge and accumulated regulatory experience."[1] [2] [3]
