The last three workers who were injured by radioactive contamination at Japanese nuclear plant in Fukushima were not warned by the company operating the plant, TEPCO, the presence of radioactivity in the third reactor. The electrical admitted that he knew the high levels of radiation in the reactor. "If information sharing is not working properly, it is possible to have avoided the incident," said an official of TEPCO daily Yomiuri.
" At the same time, the workers ignored an alarm when they were doing work on the electrical system. As a result of this accumulation of errors, the three workers suffered radiation exposure level which was 10,000 times higher than expected at the time that they were replacing a cable on the ground and had to 'dabble' in contaminated water.
Despite wearing protective suits, boots of two of the cane workers were not high enough to prevent water from seeping inside and that caused them severe burns to the skin of the feet and legs. To avoid a repeat of a similar accident, the company has evacuated this morning to all employees dealing with the situation under control in reactor number 2 after it is detected radiation levels that exceeded 10 million times the normal rates .
The contaminated liquid is in the turbine building of the reactor block. Previously, the nuclear safety agency showed that the water NISA reactor 2 had a high concentration of iodine 131, a radioactive isotope. This could be an indication of damage to the reactor core. At the same time, Japanese police reported another day of the last official count of deaths after the devastating earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan last March 11.
So far 10,489 people are killed and 16,621 that are missing. According to statistics, there were 6,333 deaths in Miyagi, in Fukushima and Iwate 3,152 946. The large number of victims in the provinces of Miyagi and Iwate has forced the authorities to bury victims in mass graves many time, unable to continue with the cremations.
Of the total of refugees, some 33,500 have been relocated to other areas of Japan, and Niigata, Saitama and Gunma, according to data compiled by NHK television.
