Tokyo. .- An employee of TEPCO, the company that operates the nuclear plant in Fukushima Japan, was admitted to hospital today after being infected by "overwork" while assisting in the tasks of radioactive water extraction, the company said today. The worker, 30 years began to feel ill while extending a water hose to remove highly radioactive reactor 2, where it is believed that the nuclear fuel rods have melted partially as a result of damage caused by the earthquake measuring 9 on Richter scale and subsequent tsunami on 11 March affected the area of Japan.
According to TEPCO, the operator, whose name was not released, was conscious and no signs of radioactivity, despite being exposed to radiation from 4.84 millisievert, slightly below the limit of 5 millisievert designated for that work. The central employee was wearing protective clothing, gloves, mask and boots, so you think your statement is due to overwork.
Also, operators are now attempting to prepare a tank where the water shed with low concentrations of radioactive materials and leave as soon as possible to pour into the Pacific, where so far is estimated to have spilled about 9,000 tons. That measure, designed to make room inside the turbine building more polluted water, has been criticized by fishermen in the area and neighboring countries like South Korea or China.
