The Cheju-do Power System

Some 280,000 people live on Cheju-do, a rocky, volcanic island lying off the south coast of the Korean peninsula. Four power plants built by the island by the UN Korean Reconstruction Agency (UNKRA) were put in operation recently, revealing the island as a symbol of UN aid in the Pacific.
