...Apparently, not completely, as revelations pouring out of Seoul this month have revealed. One centers around an idle TRIGA Mark III research reactor located in a dilapidated building in a residential suburb of Seoul. In the 1970s and '80s, the TRIGA Mark III was used by Korean nuclear scientists to test nuclear fuel and study isotopes. In April or May 1982, scientists took an irradiated test fuel rod from the reactor and placed it in one of the research installation's "hot cells," a room clad with lead to block radioactivity. Using robotic arms and peering through a leaded window...

The five red rings on the shimmering asphalt mark it as reserved for official Olympic transport, and the fine is savage...
...test, and that doctors waited more than an hour before declaring them no-shows. The H.O.C. confirms the athletes had checked into the Village, but says they left with no idea the tests had been scheduled. With scandal brewing, Kenteris and Thanou visited their coach in an Athens suburb, then got on a motorcycle to head back to the Olympic Village. They took a detour, though, to a hospital after skidding off the road; the accident left them with minor injuries and the H.O.C. with a major public relations headache. But it was enough to keep the two from testifying...
