Particle accelerators, as large-scale research facilities underpinning basic science, are increasing in scope in terms of industrial utilization. Their influence is also expanding across many areas including life sciences, medicine, nuclear engineering, materials engineering, nanotechnologies, and defense industries. As of 2022, Korea has invested 4.57 trillion won into building and operating six accelerator units. Even though extensive financial resources are poured into the construction and operation of these large-scalefacilities, frequent delays occur in relevant construction projects, and an efficient operation scheme is lacking. Therefore, this report intends to analyze the current state of large-scale accelerator construction and operation projects, identify issues, and address each major issue found. |
