2018 Olympic Game will be held in South Korea ...

2018 Winter Olympic will be held in South Korea. And the name of the city is Pyeongchang. South Korea took previous two attempts but the authority was not selected them .At last the third attempt they are success. The Koreans had lost narrowly in previous bids for the 2010 and 2014 Olympics.

Needing forty eight votes for victory, Pyeongchang received sixty three of the ninety-five votes cast. Munich received twenty five and Annecy seven.

Japan arranged such types of game in 1972 in Sapporo city and 1998 in Nagano city. Pyeongchang will be the first city in Asia outside Japan to host the Winter Games.

Korean delegates erupted in cheers in the conference hall after IOC President Jacques Rogge opened a sealed envelope and read the words: "The International Olympic Committee has the honor of announcing that the 23rd Olympic Winter Games in 2018 are awarded to the city of Pyeongchang."

A majority was required for victory, meaning Pyeongchang received at least 48 votes among the eligible 95 voters.

It was the first time an Olympic bid race with more than two finalists was decided in the first round since 1995, when Salt Lake City defeated three others to win the 2002 Winter Games.

Had no majority been reached in the opening round, the city with the fewest votes would have been eliminated and the two remaining cities gone to a second and final ballot.

Pyeongchang, whose slogan is "New Horizons," campaigned on the theme that it deserved to win on a third try and will spread the Olympics to a lucrative new market in Asia and become a hub for winter sports in the region.

Fukushima Nuclear plant damage day by day

It is the first time for Japan to inform UN about the nuclear watchdog that fuel in its crippled Fukushima Plant may have melted through the bottom of three factor core vessels. Japan's Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency (NISA) now says it believes 770,000 terabecquerels escaped into the atmosphere in the first six days compared to its earlier estimate of 370,000 terabecquerels.

Almost three months after the March ruin, Japan is preparing a report to be submitted this month to the UN International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which sent its own multinational fact-finding team to Japan recently.Japan's government plans to tell the IAEA that fuel is assumed to have melted down and through the reactor pressure vessels of units one, two and three and into their outer steel containment vessels, said the Yomiuri.

Yomiuri said that Tokyo will also pledge to thoroughly reform its nuclear safety systems, including by separating the watchdog NISA from the ministry of economy, trade and industry, which promotes nuclear power.
