Aging reactor

Activists shout a slogan to urge the government to shut down the Unit 1 Reactor at the Wolseong Nuclear Power Plant during a rally in front of the Nuclear Safety and Security Commission in central Seoul, Friday. The reactor’s planned 30-year lifespan ended in December 2012, but the government is pushing to extend its operation, triggering concerns about the safety of the aging reactor. The commission plans to decide whether to close the reactor this year. / Yonhap
