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.

BTW, 'surprisingly high amounts' means what? What was the actual contamination levels? You can have 'higher than normal' amounts of exposure to anything, and still be within safe exposure limits.

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. “
