Former Fukushima worker Happy11311 showed his concern about the further shortage of Fukushima workers.   <Translate> I think all I could do is to settle Fukushima nuclear plant somehow.

Fukushima Worker “Significantly high level of contamination may spread in the process of decommissioning”

Actual Fukushima worker Happy11311 showed his concern about the secondary contamination related to the plant decommissioning.   続き9:1Fからは今も汚染拡散してるし、2号機のブローアウトパネル塞いでも3号機や4号機カバーリングしても廃炉の過程で決して汚染拡散ゼロにはならないよ。それこそスタック解体作業なんてしたら、相当な高汚染が拡散する可能性だってあるし。廃炉までは、まだまだ先は長いんだよね。でわでわ。 — ハッピーさん (@Happy11311) 1月 16, 2013 <Translate> Contamination is still spreading around from Fukushima plant.
