South Korea had reportedly planned to "secretly" build a nuclear power plant across the border in North Korea.
A local broadcaster, SBS, claimed it has obtained a prosecution indictment that listed more than a dozen documents from the energy ministry suggesting that Seoul had planned the secret project in 2018.
Among the documents, the report said, there were at least six files dated back to May 2018 — a month after President Moon Jae-in held his first summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
Some of the files, according to the report, were titled, "A plan to build a nuclear plant in North Korea" and "Tasks for phased cooperation to establish electricity infrastructure in North Korea.”
In a reaction to the report, leader of the main opposition People Power Party, Kim Chong-in, accused Moon’s government of trying “to close the South Korean nuclear power plant and build a nuclear power plant in North Korea in extreme secrecy.”
