Reunion of the Immortals
by Melvin L. Clermont
October 4, 1999. It began as the usual work day here at Wolsong. The news media reported to the world that the accident was a heavy water leak. The same as five years before. But we gave them false information to cover up the real accident. The same way the Tokaimura accident was covered up five days before. The government told them only 22 of us were exposed to radiation and that we all turned out fine with a clean bill of health. There were actually 29 of us.

The floats were ready to be taken for a ride so admirers such as myself could marvel at their presence. Celebrities got themselves camera-ready while balloon handlers and marching bands got in formation. Float drivers also idled their vehicles before the excitement began.
Police allowed tourists to take photos of the parade stars before they went into action with the American Museum
