[Reactor3] Fukushima worker “got exposed to 2.55mSv, 38 cameras, concrete falling off”

A Fukushima worker tweeted about the actual situation around reactor3. He worked at reactor3 to build the cover and his team member was exposed to 2.55mSv in total. He mentioned other important facts too.

Anyway, it’s decided to go to Fukushima plant from 6/5/2012..

Radiation doesn’t kill you immediately, but debris of concrete or rebars are falling off from reactor3. They are highly radioactive but moreover, it would kill you if it hits you. That’s what is going on here.

been covering reactor3. A trouble happened, had to go up the reactor building. APD (dosimeter cf.Fukushima worker was ordered to shield dosimeter with lead cover to make integral dose look low) immediately alarmed 3 times. tried to get back quickly but it alarmed again on ladder. Today’s integral dose was 1.69mSv/h. People who remained there to work had it to be 2.55mSv/h, they were called for the seismic isolation building.

<End>

Those workers who were involved in taking out the fuel assemblies from SFP4 [Link] had 0.6mSv in total, and it was 2.55mSv for the covering construction of reactor3, which none of the news covers. I feel like I’m doing something great..

I don’t know if it’s because of the fear for radiation, but some of the workers in my company are really tempered. They use violence sometimes, I was lucky to be able to talk to my boss about that. If you are worried about radiation, you are not suitable to be a nuclear worker.

There are 38 cameras around reactor3, employees in high class can tell everything going-on. We can’t take too much rest, we have to take care about safety, we are not to cause any trouble like fight. Though it’s the same as ordinary work, but this is extraordinarily sensitive.

    these brave people deserve a medal of honor or somthing just as equel so much bravery and determination

    • Posthumous says:

      Erm.. how about we let them work in safety and not fake the dosimeter readings rather than giving them medals?

      The government will work them to death then shower medals and praise on them. I don’t want to be part of that game.

  2. Michele says:

    What has astounded me through the length of this nuclear nightmare has been the devaluation of people and all of our environment for the global community and any future generations on this planet. The leaders of the modern nations have joined with the government of Japan and the corporate heads of TEPCO in the manipulating the information to the point that nothing said, shown in documentation, viewed from the cameras, etc. is usually a lie to further cover-up both current and future implications of a frightening reality. With the exception of thiose who have remained to follow the events from 311, the world has been kept ignorant. While Fukushima is a reality, we are being told that Iran could be a nuclear threat and needs to be dealt with military pre-emptive strike. Military actions cause displacement of hundreds of thousands, maim and kill a majority of women and children. The “mother of all bombs” (MOAB) which will kill hundreds of thousands and even leave a mushroom cloud are created at great expense and are waiting to be used. It appears that humanity is on its way to oblivion.

      We are pawns, Michele. 99% of us are pawns. Consumerism gives folks the appearance of agency, but it’s a ruse. Desecration of nature, war, famine, and more benefit the few over the many; we even have easy proof of the last decade’s ills, such as the Halliburton Bake Sale (nee War Profiteering).

      The Internet gives us voice and purpose; it may be our last great hope, but it is rapidly being colonized and coopted. Ugh I must sound Prison Planet-y. Still, the onus is on us to get the word out.

    These few men are throwing themselves into a battle where there can be only one winner….continued human existence or global nuclear disaster and the end of life as we know it.
    This is a mortal battle where the odds are stacked wildly against us and the final outcome will affect every living thing on this planet……. and yet nobody knows of it.

    These men that are working on the front line at fukushima know exactly what is at stake. They know the consequences should they fail, and they know management are definitely not behind them from the moment they were given lead covers for their personal dosimeters.
    Lose the lead covers from the dosimeters tepco…provide the men with some level protection that includes something better than dust proof suits, and pay them what the job is worth. Certainly more than $100,000 a day awarded to their families….because They won’t have too much time to spend it will they.

  4. jec says:

    They are allowed 250mSv as nuclear workers..right? With or without lead shielding of the dosimeters? (sarcasm).

    The workers are heros..and we all hope they are rewarded by both the government and TEPCO after they leave Fukushima work. Rewarded many many times..workers and families.

  5. pat b says:

    Jec

    250 mSV is an emergency lifetime dose. Normally it’s 100 mSV with a 50 mSV annual dose limit.

    Also, that’s calibrated to an extermal dose, internal doses are at least 5 times worse, nobody has done studies on internal dosing. The workers living in the radiation environment are breathing and eating lots of nasty nuclides.

    I was going to commentthat Diarrhea is a sign of radiation poisoning. It can also be food poisoning or norovirus.

  6. nc10t says:

    Nobody within 500 meters of R3 got 2.5 mSv unless he was inside the same lead shield as the dosimeter that made this insane measurement….

    Reporting all these idiotic exposure measurements no longer means anything after the dosimeter cheating reported yesterday.

  7. Clint Miller says:

    Bless there souls for there enormous sacrifice!

  8. Miauw says:

    Knowing that in the time of Chernobyl 250.000 men where involved to save a the shit/srry maked it saver,and now here Fukushima how much?38 cams…everything can be seen in and out other in and out…..maybe the management of Tepco must show the people who demonstrate how they must do it….or something like that,on the other hand..in that time or on that moment they hadn’t a lot of from a distance operated hardware…….
    I wish u guys all the luck/wisdom in the world,u need it there,the comon years.
