 [Editorial] Consensus on Nuclear Waste Needed : English Editorials : Internet Hankyoreh
Firstly, just because you’ve received petitions from citizens doesn’t mean those petitions reflect the entire opinion of the locals.
In the case of Uljin County, in which Sampo-ri, Samsan-ni and Gomong-ni issued citizen petitions for the dump, there was much opposition within the country as a whole, as was the case in Buan, in which locals on Wido Island welcomed construction, but people in the rest of Buan opposed it.
Secondly, for most of the people who led the petitions, their primary motivation was not so much an understanding of the nuclear waste dump facilities but the expectation of W3 billion in support funds.

The record is actually a description of Uljin-hyeon, which was the equivalent of a county in Gangwon Province.
I think the county head got the “100 ri” from the Japanese officials, but did not realize that the Japanese officials were using ri to represent kilometers.
The fact that his superiors wrote back asking him to get more information on the islets shows that they did not even know much about “Dokdo.” I think that after an investigation, the Koreans realized that they had no claim on the islets, which is why they did not protest to Japan.
