Summary
Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI)
government research legacy
KAERINET-AS-KR is the network of the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute, South Korea's national nuclear research laboratory. KAERI sits in the Daedeok research complex in Yuseong, Daejeon, and the AS announces a full legacy /16, 147.43.0.0/16, registered directly to the institute.
What it's used for
- The institute's own research and administrative computing: reactor and materials research, nuclear-safety and radiation work, and the laboratory's staff and campus networks.
- Research collaboration traffic, which for a Korean national institute in Daedeok runs over the national research networks.
Notable
- A national laboratory, so this is government research infrastructure rather than a commercial network. There is no subscriber space and nothing is sold as access or hosting.
- A whole
/16for a single research institute is a mark of an early allocation.147.43.0.0/16is old class-B space, and the institute also holds a192.104.15.0/24from the same era, the kind of pair that scientific sites picked up in the late 1980s and early 1990s. - Reverse DNS is not published across the space, which is typical both of Korean networks and of security-conscious research sites.
Interesting
- KAERI is the institute behind Korea's indigenous reactor designs and it operates the HANARO research reactor, so the network sits behind genuinely sensitive scientific and regulatory work.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 442 networks and 1,773 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
