This study suggests 5 evaluation criteria (safety and technology, environmental impact, economic feasibility, social factors, and institutional factors) and 24 evaluation indicators for a NFC (nuclear fuel cycle) derived using factor analysis. To do so, a survey using 1 on 1 interview was given to nuclear energy experts and local residents who live near nuclear power plants. In addition, by conducting a factor analysis, homogeneous evaluation indicators were grouped with the same evaluation criteria, and unnecessary evaluation criteria and evaluation indicators were dropped out. As a result of analyzing the weight of evaluation criteria with the sample of nuclear power experts and the general public, both sides recognized safety as the most important evaluation criterion, and the social factors such as public acceptance appeared to be ranked as more important evaluation criteria by the nuclear energy experts than the general public.

The primary goal of this study is to develop proper indicators for evaluating and selecting an organization that contributes product safety in his industry. The indicators of product safety include input, process, and output in the sequences of product safety activities and systems. The indicators are proposed by the side of measurable and unmeasurable index. In detail, the indicators are consist of 3 parts - product safe management, efforts for product safety and the performance of product safety. The indicators are itemized by size of enterprise (large, medium and small size) due to the difference of their system and management capability of product safety. To get the indicators reasonably, the opinions of experts and VOC of the industrial field are considered. And the indicators are also divided by job position and level(an executive vs. worker). The items of indicators are 20 and the score is 200, that are the same whichever the case may be. The indicators are useful tools for selecting a person who serves the development of product safety in his industry.

ESG (environmental, social, governance) management is being introduced with the goal of sustainable development of the company in risk management, which identifies and judgement various risks that may occur in the industry. In the future, ESG evaluation will be used more as a value judgment tools for corporate sustainability. This ESG evaluation was used to manage the company's accident prevention level. Through morphological analysis of the current ESG evaluation system, it was found that the quantitative 'safety evaluation index' available in ESG was insufficient through analysis of safety evaluation items. In this study, domestic and foreign industrial accident data was analyzed, 'accident contributing factors' that required intensive management were derived, and major safety management items that needed supplementation were selected based on the results. ESG safety evaluation indicators were developed through the process of optimizing the selected items into evaluation factors suitable for 'accident prevention management'.
