Samsung given nominal $1000 fine over gas leak, according to Yonhap News

Korea's Yonhap News agency is reporting that Samsung will be fined 1 million won (roughly $1,000) for not reporting its recent gas leak quickly enough. The gas leak led to the death of a maintenance contractor who was brought in to fix a pipe leaking hydrofluoric gas at one of Samsung's semiconductor plants. Police are reportedly imposing the fine on both Samsung and its subcontractor, for failure to follow a rule stipulating that authorities should be "promptly" notified of any such leaks.
