A roundup of two maritime industry news stories covering the introduction of Korean radioactive waste technology in the US and GoodWe's new low-noise residential energy storage solution in Europe.

## Korean Radioactive Waste Tech Debuts in US The Korea Radioactive Waste Agency (KORAD) recently participated in the Waste Management Symposia (WM 2026) in the United States, marking the introduction of its radioactive waste technology to the North American market. According to the press release, KORAD's participation was part of a 'Joint Exhibition Pavilion' aimed at supporting the export efforts of small and medium-sized Korean partner companies. The agency showcased its expertise in radioactive waste management, which has been developed over decades of experience in South Korea. 'KORAD is eager to bring our proven radioactive waste technology to the global stage, and the United States represents a key market for us,' said Sungdon Cho, President & CEO of KORAD. 'We believe our solutions can play an important role in addressing the nuclear industry's waste challenges around the world.' ## GoodWe Launches Low-Noise Energy Storage in Europe In other news, Chinese inverter manufacturer GoodWe has debuted its latest residential energy storage solution, the ESA Series, at a product launch event in Amsterdam. The new system is designed to meet the growing demand for greater energy autonomy among European homeowners. A key feature of the ESA Series is its 'world-first certified low-noise' design, which the company says will provide a quieter alternative to traditional energy storage units. This aligns with increasing consumer preferences for unobtrusive home energy solutions. 'As the EU residential energy storage market continues to expand, GoodWe is committed to delivering innovative products that enhance the user experience,' said a company spokesperson. 'The ESA Series represents our latest effort to reinforce our leadership position in this dynamic sector.'
