KAERI
Mr. Tae-Ho Lee is a Vice President of SMART Development at the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI).
He has more than 24 years of experience in the fields of design and experiments for nuclear reactor.
Early in his career, he was involved in the system design of commercial power reactor and SMART.
Then, he has participated in several projects related with reactor system design and technology validation of sodium-cooled fast reactor as project manager or director for about 14 years.
He joined again the SMART projects in 2019 and currently takes overall responsibility for technology development of light-water type SMR at KAERI.
