Science ministry says proton accelerator reaches 40,000 hours of cumulative operation
A 100-megaelectronvolt-class linear proton accelerator operated by the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute in Gyeongju has reached 40,000 cumulative operating hours over 13 years since its first run in 2013 without a single safety accident, the Ministry of Science and ICT said. The facility supports radiation-environment testing for semiconductors and other applications. Operations expanded to a 24-hour service system from September 2024, and it supported 353 people and 210 experiments last year.

Next-generation AI semiconductor device verified to withstand space radiation
South Korea\'s Ministry of Science and ICT and the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute said on Wednesday a joint team has, for the first time, verified next-generation AI semiconductor technology that operates stably in a space-radiation environment. The team made an indium-gallium-zinc oxide-based synaptic transistor and tested it with a high-energy proton beam equivalent to more than 20 years of exposure in low Earth orbit. It retained switching and synaptic plasticity despite some performance degradation.
