[quote=JIMMYB,433116]Reuters reports that Tokyo Electric recruited temporary workers to stabilize the power plant after the disaster happened. These temporary workers were sent to the power plant without radiation meters and they didn’t have follow-up health screening after work. As a result, the workers may suffer from health risks and the future costs can not be estimated. The experts said that Japan nuclear power plants have recruited temporary workers to do maintenance and repair jobs since the nuclear boom in 1970s. The workers were often paid in cash with little training. Some doctors hope Japan’s government to set up a system of health monitoring for the thousands of workers streaming through Fukushima. Some also want to see a standard of care guaranteed. What actions will Japan take? PS: A few days ago, the IAEA went to Japan to investigate Fukushima nuclear incident and finally concluded that Fukushima nuclear incident was much worse than Chernobyl nuclear explosion. Some scientists even suggest IAEA should upgrade Fukushima nuclear disaster to “Article 8” beyond Chernobyl nuclear incident. [/quote]
