The Korea Foundation of Nuclear Safety (KoFONS) is a Korean organization dedicated to protecting the public from radiation hazards through preventive nuclear and radiation safety management. It supports a stronger, forward-looking safety framework and helps foster a regulatory system grounded in communication and public trust.

KoFONS conducts and supports research and policy studies on nuclear safety, plans and manages research and development, and helps build educational foundations for future safety-regulation professionals. Its international cooperation work connects it with global organizations, regulators in other countries, and multilateral forums. The foundation also manages funds transparently to support nuclear safety-regulation programs.

Its safety services include managing radiation exposure information for workers and overseeing radioactive-material information. KoFONS accredits and supervises performance-verification organizations for nuclear power plant equipment through independent review and strict standards. It also provides radiation safety education for workers and the public to encourage preventive practices and strengthen safety culture. Through research, training, information management, and collaboration, KoFONS contributes to reliable oversight of nuclear and radiation safety.
