The number of applicants for the first and second special appointments to the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute, which will be launched on February 2nd, totaled 1,962, accounting for 68.3% of the total quota. In particular, there were fewer than 10 applicants for inspectors, raising concerns about a shortage of manpower. Since the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute has set quotas for each rank, it is possible that not all applicants will be appointed, and the institute has stated that it will fill unappointed positions through experienced-based competitive recruitment. It plans to hire professionals from various fields such as police officers, lawyers, and accountants. There are also criticisms that transparency is lacking in the establishment process of the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute and its human resources filling plan.
