Another one about the "accident"... nothing to worry about, not even for the people involved... move on... Radiation leak reported day after incident at Ibaraki laboratoryRadioactive substances were released into the atmosphere Thursday outside the controlled area at one of the Japan Atomic Energy Agency's nuclear physics laboratories in Ibaraki Prefecture and 55 people at the facility may have been exposed to radiation, officials said Saturday. The JAEA said six people were confirmed to have been exposed by Saturday night and a quick checkup suggested possible exposure of 24 others. The highest radiation dose detected was 1.6 millisieverts, compared with the annual exposure limit for nuclear facility workers of 50 millisieverts, the Nuclear Regulation Authority's secretariat said Saturday. None of the 55 researchers and others who were engaged in experiments and other work at the laboratory were taken to the hospital, it said. [ link to english.kyodonews.jp] . HAZMAT in Japan on Saturday, 25 May, 2013 at 06:47 (06:47 AM) UTC. Description Japan's Atomic Energy Agency has confirmed that radioactive substances were released on Thursday at one of the country's nuclear physics laboratories in the Ibaraki Prefecture, a central region on the main island of Honshu with an eastern coastline. JAEA reports that 10 researchers working at the laboratory may have been exposed to radiation, though it did not believe radiation would affect the area beyond the accelerator laboratory. Ibaraki is located south of Fukushima Prefecture, the region most severely affected by a 2011 tsunami and subsequent nuclear disaster at the Fukushima Daichii nuclear power plant. It is located some 100 kilometers north of Tokyo. [ link to hisz.rsoe.hu]
