The Cheju-Do Power System

1 July 1956

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 on the island by the UN Korean Reconstruction Agency (UNKRA) were put in operation recently, revealing Cheju-do as a symbol of UN aid in the Pacific.
At work is one of today's most important men in Cheju City, an electrician connecting a house to the power line.
