The Japanese Health and Labor Ministry reports that Tokyo Electric Power Company still has 125 workers that are waiting to be tested for radiation. Those workers were present when reactor buildings exploded after the 11 March 2011 disasters.
Despite the government’s complaints about TEPCo dragging its feet on testing employees, TEPCo claims they’ve tested 1,100 workers, so far. My experience in the military tells me TEPCo could have gotten that many workers tested in a day, so why has it taken them three plus months?
TEPCo is reporting that several more workers have tested positive for levels of radiation exposure above government limits. The latest worker, to test positive for contamination, was exposed to 335 millisieverts per hour of radiation.
