Regulatory guidelines for the continued operation of CANDU reactor in Korea were introduced in this paper. Wolsong unit 1, which is a CANDU 600 reactor in Korea, is approaching to its design life of 30 years in 2012. The licensee who wants to operate a nuclear power plant beyond its design life should submit the periodic safety review (PSR) report conducted based on the eleven safety factors. In addition, the licensee should provide the items as follows: (1) Scoping and screening results of aging management, (2) Aging management program, (3) TLAA including the continued operation term, and (4) Operation experience feedback and important safety research results. In this study, the 53 regulatory guidelines for the above 4 items for the CANDU reactor in Korea were developed.
