bogus reactor parts
Coming events cast their shadows before, an old saying goes. If this proves right, Koreans won't be able to shake off ominous feelings on possible nuclear  incidents here.
The nation's atomic power operators
who stirred social controversy
homebuilt knockoffs instead of authentic foreign products
vital pieces of equipment
refute the replicas are no different from originals

to prove such allegations true,
an official responsible for parts procurement
received kickbacks
evern the slightest difference in components

this utter insensitivity to safety
the nation's extremely poor preparedness for potential accidents
would be almost incomparable between

population density
the nation's emergency zones are too small
its stockpiles of thyroid medication which must be taken within five hours of radiation exposure

The Lee Myung-bak administration's ambitious "nuclear renaissance" program of exoprting reactors-regardless of whether it is desirable or even recommendable- cannot even take off withoug solving safety problems

Overseas sales aside,
to prevent a nightmarish scenario, all the officials involved, from president Lee dwon to manual workders, must renew their consciousness about safety..
