 urg::: Will Korea ever have a nuke dumpsite?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Buan residents last month staged yet another protest, after the government refused to accept their demands for a promised referendum on the construction within this year, fearing a fallout in the parliamentary elections next April.
According to one recent survey, about 80 percent of Buan residents are said to oppose the plan to have the dumpsite built in their district.
Given the great publicity the vehement protests in Buan have received this year, very few believe a district administrator would be courageous enough to submit an application to be considered as a dumpsite host.

Discussion about putting the question of a radioactive waste facility in Buan county, North Jeolla province is absurd and out of place.
It is well known how Buan¡¯s mayor decided to attract the facility after he performed a survey of Wi Island residents, confirming that they did want it built there.
So the country is naturally confused when he now says ¡°the decision to bring the facility there could be withdrawn depending on the vote.¡± The government administration minister is furthering the confusion and it's frustrating to watch, since he was at cabinet meetings but has now started to involve himself in the matter.

 WISE/NIRS Nuclear Monitor; BUAN VICTORIOUS AS WASTE DUMP PROPOSAL RETRACTED   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
After a six month-long dispute with county residents over the construction of South Korea's first nuclear waste dump, the government now intends to seek additional regions willing to provide a site for the controversial facility.
The inhabitants of the Buan County gathered in unprecedented numbers to show opposition to the decision.
The purpose was to provide information on nuclear waste issues world-wide and to refute government and industry claims that, for example, plutonium is safe to eat, spent fuel is a renewable resource and that the rest of the world successfully operated nuclear waste disposal facilities.

 Korean gov`t to seek new applicants for nuclear waste facility
Yoon`s remarks were a departure from the government`s long-held stance that the selection was made in accordance with low-income Wido islanders` wishes to accept the facility in return for a financial aid package, and thus it cannot change the site.
Currently, Buan residents are seeking a vote on whether to approve the nuclear waste dump, but a date for balloting has yet to be decided.
However, priority will reportedly be given to Buan if a majority of its residents vote in favor of the plan.

Gang, along with other promoters of rural Korean tourism, is simply trying to create a "C.I." or "company identity" for his county.
Park looked it up and "concluded that it meant 'regional, agricultural, environmentally friendly, pollution-free, primitive, natural, pure'." In other words, "bikinis." Meanwhile, over in Seocheon County, it meant "a dog-eating festival for lovers of the meat, which is considered a delicacy in Korea." That didn't work, either: "...
Some pet-lovers opposed the idea and we dropped it," says Lee Jim Hee, a county official.

 Save 10% off your next trip to Buan County Beaches. :: ROKUS.NET ::
Ahead of the peak summer bathing season, Buan County administration southwest of Seoul renamed its Byeonsan Beach "Bikini Beach" and promised wearers of skimpy swimsuits a 10-percent discount on bills for hotels, meals and beach equipment rentals.
The county put up wall posters with pictures of bikini-clad beauties and the inscription: "Show off your beauty and get a 10-percent discount." [Very similar to a sign on one of the bars I used to go to in Florida, except "beauty" was spelled differently...]
But officials at the Buan county office were unrepentant and said by telephone that they had no plan to stop the campaign.

The "anti-impeachment" protests and the people who attend them, represent an entirely different socio-economic stratum than those who took part in the extremely violent demonstratinos that filled the front pages recently.
(In February, protesters demonstrated against passage of Korea's first free-trade agreement with Chile, and before that, riots erupted over the proposed construction of a nuclear waste dump in Buan County).
Unlike those who perceive themselves as disempowered and subjugated, the protesters who took to the streets last weekend in Seoul and around the country were largely employed and middle class, many with children in tow.
