This paper introduces the current nuclear experimental research activities in KAERI, the unique nuclear research institute in Korea, and the universities in Korea to solve and assess the issues which have been faced in the design of new reactors such as APR1400, SMART, GEN-IV reactors as well as fusion reactor. Also the experimental evaluations of safety for operating nuclear plants have been presented. The nuclear thermalhydraulic experiments performed in such organizations are classified the fundamental test, the separated effect test, and the integral effect test with ATLAS and SNUF. Introduction is deployed according to institutes. Finally, the future works and the direction of research voyage in the nuclear thermal-hydraulic field were suggested.
