    SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - South Korea will rely heavily on nuclear
and coal-fired generators under a plan to boost the nation's
electricity capacity from 7.23 million kilowatts to 30 million
kilowatts by 1991, the Ministry of Energy and Resources said today.
    Under the plan, South Korea will spend an average of $2 billion a
year to build a total of 14 nuclear and 10 coal-burning power plants
by 1991. None of the projected new power plants will use oil, the
ministry said.
