This is misleading.

50 millisieverts is the nuclear worker annual exposure.
These people have also ingested radiation in water and food. They have also breathed it in unknown concentrations. The total amount from exposure and ingestion is unknown..

Until comprehensive medical evaluation is done, we won't know. Even then, will they tell the truth?
