Nuclear decommissioning and nuclear power-related stocks, which had recently shown strength due to expectations of global nuclear expansion policies and increased power demand from artificial intelligence (AI) data centers, are simultaneously experiencing a short-term correction trend. During the trading session on the 2nd, influenced by foreign selling pressure and expanded market volatility, profit-taking sell orders emerged, continuing the weakness across the entire nuclear power theme.

As of the morning of the 2nd, the movements of major stocks are as follows.

▲ Doosan Enerbility: Traded at 102,000 won, falling by 6,700 won (-6.27%). During the session, it once rose to 111,100 won, but as selling pressure expanded, it was pushed back to near the 100,000 won level. ▲ Woojin Technology: As a nuclear power-related theme stock in the nuclear power control and instrumentation system sector, it traded at 14,560 won, down 980 won (-6.31%). Its intraday high reached 15,550 won, while its low was 14,360 won. ▲ BHI: Down 5,100 won (-7.10%), trading at 66,700 won. It rose to 72,200 won during the session but subsequently expanded its decline. ▲ Orbitech: Mentioned as a nuclear decommissioning-related stock, it is currently trading at 7,490 won, down 380 won (-4.83%). Its intraday low is 7,400 won.

In addition to these, a correction has appeared across the entire nuclear power theme, with major stocks simultaneously showing a downward trend, including ▲ Korea Electric Power Technology 126,900 won (-5.58%) ▲ KEPCO KPS 49,550 won (-3.03%) ▲ Woojin 18,920 won (-5.07%).

In the market, expectations for the growth of the nuclear decommissioning industry—which encompasses the decommissioning of aging nuclear power plants, radioactive waste treatment, radiation measurement, and safety management—have grown, leading to continued interest in companies possessing related technologies and equipment. The increasing number of cases reaching the end of their nuclear power plant lifespans domestically and internationally was also a positive factor. However, the current intraday trend shows that the market has entered a short-term profit-taking phase, causing selling pressure to take effect.
