In this Tuesday, Oct. 7, 2014 photo, a truck painted with notice of the Oct. 9 referendum is parked in Samcheok, 195 kilometers (120 miles) east of Seoul, South Korea. Fighting plans to build a nuclear power plant, a South Korean fishing village is holding a referendum Thursday, Oct. 9, 2014, even though the government has warned the vote is illegal. A site in Samcheok was picked by the energy ministry after a previous city government applied in 2010 for a nuclear power facility. But attitudes have shifted since Japan's 2011 nuclear disaster at the Fukushima. The Korean characters on the truck read: "Let's keep Samcheok and Oct. 9 referendum."
