Fukushima

The March 2011 accident at Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Japan released more radioactivity than Three Mile Island, but much less than Chernobyl, probably about 570 PBq (iodine-131 equivalent), and the effects are still being assessed. [b]Certainly the main radiation exposure was to workers on site, and some 167 workers received doses over 100 mSv. Of these 135 had received 100 to 150 mSv, 23 150-200 mSv, three more 200-250 mSv, [u]and six had received over 250 mSv - the limit set for emergency workers there,[/u][/b] apparently due to inhaling iodine-131 fume early on. There were around 250 workers on site each day.  INES rating 7.

Original Message Really this is just well no words

The Japanese health ministry’s halt to subsidies for medical checkups for some subcontracted workers at the stricken Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant is making it difficult for some of them to continue having regular checkups.
