Nuke workers VISITING the area (no gear) said to be safe for citizens were scanned for radiation and had surprisingly high amounts of contaminants in their lungs.

Well, duh. They were outside of a controlled area, wearing no protection. They didn’t get the exposure from working at Fukushima. I’m talking about nuke workers working at a nuke plant.

Well duh...citizens LIVE there on the assurances that it is safe. Nuke workers were contaminated by brief visits. But wait..citizens just don’t matter to nuke shills.

“Thousands of Nuclear plant workers suffer internal radiation exposure after visiting Fukushima”

“People are deemed to have had internal exposure if whole-body counters detect over 1,500 cpm of radiation from them. If more than 100,000 cpm of radiation is detected from body surfaces, decontamination is said to be necessary. “

“Nobuaki Terasaka, head of the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency, told the House of Representatives Budget Committee on May 16 that there were a total of 4,956 cases of workers suffering from internal exposure to radiation at nuclear power plants in the country excluding the Fukushima No. 1 Nuclear Power Plant, and 4,766 of them involved workers originally from Fukushima who had visited the prefecture after the nuclear crisis. “

“In 1,193 cases, workers had internal exposure to radiation of more than 10,000 cpm. “

From your link:

Most of the workers who had internal exposure to radiation visited Fukushima after the nuclear crisis broke out following the March 11 quake and tsunami, and apparently inhaled radioactive substances scattered by hydrogen explosions at the Fukushima No. 1 Nuclear Power Plant.

Again...this was in the immediate aftermath of the crisis, not what they are doing NOW.

The Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency said it received the data from power companies across the country that measured the workers' internal exposure to radiation with "whole-body counters" and recorded levels of 1,500 counts per minute (cpm) or higher. In 1,193 cases, workers had internal exposure to radiation of more than 10,000 cpm. Those workers had apparently returned to their homes near the Fukushima No. 1 Nuclear Power Plant or had moved to other nuclear power plants from the Fukushima No. 1 and 2 nuclear power plants.

Their exposures resulted from staying unprotected in an area in close proximity to the plants after the reactor buildings exploded. This is completely understandable given the chaos of the situation. Within a short period of time later, no one was allowed to stay in that area.

According to Kakizawa, one worker at the Shika Nuclear Power Plant operated by Hokuriku Electric Power Co. in Ishikawa Prefecture returned to his home in Kawauchi, Fukushima Prefecture, on March 13 and stayed there for several hours. He then stayed in Koriyama in the prefecture with his family for one night before moving out of Fukushima. On March 23, he underwent a test at the Shika Nuclear Power Plant that showed his internal exposure to radiation had reached 5,000 cpm. He was thus instructed by the company to remain on standby. The radiation reading dropped below 1,500 cpm two days later, and then he returned to work.

Again, someone being in an unsafe area in the immediate aftermath of the disaster. Note how quickly his the internal contamination decayed...two days and he was back to within acceptable levels. He's going to be just fine.
