In the film Pandora, what is the name of the fictional nuclear power plant?

In the 2016 South Korean film Pandora, the fictional nuclear facility is the Hanbyul Nuclear Power Plant. The disaster thriller centers on an earthquake and the escalating emergency at this plant.

The film uses the power station as both a physical setting and a focus for questions about industrial safety, government response, and the risks faced by workers. Its plot follows a severe accident after an earthquake damages the facility, creating a national crisis.

Pandora was directed by Park Jung-woo and released in South Korea in December 2016. Kim Nam-gil plays Jae-hyeok, a worker drawn into the emergency, while Kim Joo-hyun plays Yeon-joo. The film is fictional rather than a documentary account of a specific Korean plant.

The name can be confused with real nuclear facilities in South Korea, including the country’s Hanul and Hanbit plants. Hanbyul is the fictional plant created for Pandora’s story, not the name of an actual station depicted in the film.
