BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

South Korea: Safety concerns may lead to closure of Wolsong No.1 nuclear reactor

January 13, 2015 Reprints

Several of South Korea's nuclear watchdog commissioners said that the country's second-oldest nuclear reactor Wolsong No.1 might be closed permanently over safety concerns, Reuters reported.

The statement follows the recent hacking of a nuclear plant operator in the country.

Wolsong No.1 was shut down in 2012 and its operator has been trying to restart the reactor.

"If the old reactor is still allowed to continue to run, it will just hike risks," said one commissioner.
