Though Koreans trace their legendary origins back to 2333 B.C., endless civil wars and ruthless invasions have wiped out nearly every perishable object that remained above ground.

Refineries employ them to trace the flow of catalysts through craeking plants, Isotopes serve as tireless sentinels to warn of hidden leaks in pipes, as sensitive controls to separate oil from gasoline in pipelines. Oilmen merely insert a shot of an isotope after each batch is pumped in; when the radioactive cocktail reaches interchange points, the isotope automatically activates valves that shunt the crude and the gasoline in proper directions...
