警戒区域入った女性死亡 福島県浪江町

20日午前11時ごろ、東京電力福島第1原発事故の警戒区域に指定されている福島県浪江町で、重機を区域外に持ち出すために許可を受けて入域していた50代の女性が倒れたと119番があった。女性は救急車で同県南相馬市の病院に搬送されたが、午後1時に死亡が確認された。

政府の原子力災害現地対策本部によると、原発作業員を除けば、警戒区域に立ち入った人が死亡するのは初めて。

同本部によると、女性は同僚数人と事業者向けの立ち入り許可を受けて入域。急に「気分が悪い」と訴えてトイレに入り意識を失ったという。

About this site

This website updates the latest news about the Fukushima nuclear plant and also archives the past news from 2011. Because it's always updated and added live, articles, categories and the tags are not necessarily fitted in the latest format.
I am the writer of this website. About page remains in 2014. This is because my memory about 311 was clearer than now, 2023, and I think it can have a historical value. Now I'm living in Romania with 3 cats as an independent data scientist.
Actually, nothing has progressed in the plant since 2011. We still don't even know what is going on inside. They must keep cooling the crippled reactors by water, but additionally groundwater keeps flowing into the reactor buildings from the broken parts. This is why highly contaminated water is always produced more than it can circulate. Tepco is planning to officially discharge this water to the Pacific but Tritium is still remaining in it. They dilute this with seawater so that it is legally safe, but scientifically the same amount of radioactive tritium is contained. They say it is safe to discharge, but none of them have drunk it.
