Abstract
According to United Nations Security Council Resolution 1540, existing export controls are no longer voluntary, and have become mandatory under international law for all Member States [1]. As a result, the existing domestic laws of all Member States must integrate these new rules into their existing legal system. They are also required to continue to strengthen the implementation of transfer of technology. As for the increasing nuclear market and expanding international exchange of technologies, along with international joint research projects, the risk of illegal transfer of strategic technology has increased. Otherwise, South Korea, moving with the times, legislated control to prevent the illegal transfer of technology for industries, academies, and research institutes. However, there is no suitable ITT control system for technology related Trigger List items. In this study, an analysis was made of the characteristics of Intangible Transfer of Technology by advanced countries to help establish efficient and effective control measures for of South Korea’s nuclear industry.
