South Korean environmental activists staged an anti-nuclear rally on March 28, marking the 32nd anniversary of the Three Mile Island [2] nuclear accident in Pennsylvania. Dozens of protesters wearing white masks gathered in downtown Seoul and denounced their government's nuclear development plans. Said protest leader Kim Hae-jung: "Today is the 32nd anniversary of the Three Mile Island nuclear plant accident, and it's been 17 days since the nuclear tragedy broke out in Japan. We're here to urge our government to change its plan to expand nuclear plants and to inform people of the danger of nuclear plants." South Korea has 21 nuclear power plants, with seven more under construction, and another 11 planned. (NTD-TV [3], March 28)
