You know when I heard a worker died I envisioned their lack of sleep, hours of work, duress and isolation from family etc and thought of it as ‘overwork’. However, since then, I have read that this was his second day of work at the plant. He was slated to work 3 hours. He collapsed after helping another worker carry a saw (pipe saw maybe) down a flight of stairs. Also - when they are dressed in all their protective gear they are now struggling with heat exhaustion inside the layers - another worker was said to have become ill from heat exhaustion the prior day. So I suspect if this information is correct, that a combination of factors may have contributed to his death heat, stress, exertion, possible hidden ailment. His exposure was said to be quite low. Hope he did not suffer but went quickly - wouldn’t want to be a person collapsing in that environment not knowing WHY you are going down. Prayers up.

You and I both knew..along with very few others on this site...that this was much worse than people there and here would admit.

It doesn’t surprise me that people on this site are still claiming that it isn’t all that bad.

Meanwhile, they have finally admitted there has been a core meltdown, (won’t admit that there has been any full meltdown) that there are likely holes in the containment vessel, there are likely leaks...

No end in site

And it just keeps getting worse.

Reactor 4 is leaning.

But very few on this site will admit how bad this situation is.
