권칠승 "SMR로 용인 반도체산단 전력문제 해소"
- 오는 6·3 지방선거를 앞두고 '소형 모듈식 원자로(SMR)'가 반도체 산단 전력 문제 해법으로제시됐다.
- 국내 반도체 산업을 주도하는 경기지역 여당 정치권에서 이같은 제안이 나오면서 반도체 산단 전력 공급 문제는 향후 경기지사 후보 경쟁에서 핵심 의제로 부상할 것으로 전망된다.
- 권 의원 측은 파이낸셜뉴스와 통화에서 "SMR이 액화천연가스(LNG) 복합발전소 몇 개분의 역할을 할 것으로 기대하고 있다"면서 SMR이 향후 경기도 자체 전력 수급의 단서가 될 것이라고 내다봤다.
