Suicide Mission Workers Nuclear Reactor

MESSAGES heartbreaking sent the workers who tried to prevent full-scale nuclear disaster at a nuclear power plant (NPP) is problematic in Japan. The messages were revealed, they know very well that they are running a suicide mission.
One of them, called Fifty Fukushima, said they accepted their fate bravely like a death sentence. One another, after absorbing a nearly lethal dose of radiation, told his wife, "Please continue lakoni live well, for while I can not go home."
Radiation level at the entrance to the plant at the level that would directly kill the workers or causes them to suffer terrible disease in the rest of their lives. Experts say, the clothes they were wearing airtight little can stop the radiation exposure.
British daily, The Dailymail, reported last weekend, the group Fukushima Fifty (Fifty People Fukushima) that persisted after 700 of their colleagues fled when radiation levels become too dangerous. Their identities have not been revealed, but the experts say, they seem to front-line technicians and firefighters who really know the plant.
It is estimated, most of them are middle-aged men who become volunteers because they already have children younger workers will probably be rendered infertile by a high radiation dose. They called Fifty Fukushima, but in fact the group were 200 people working four shifts in turn. They worked to revive the Fukushima reactor cooling system damaged by the tsunami hit.
Last Friday, the messages they are heartbreaking to his family published Japanese national television who have interviewed their relatives. A family member said, "My father still works at the plant. He said he accepted his fate, like a death sentence." One woman said, her husband who was in power it continued to work and is fully aware he is being bombarded by radiation.
The other women said 59-year-old father who voluntarily submit themselves to the task in Fukushima. He added, as quoted Dailymail, "I heard that he voluntarily although he will retire within a half years and my eyes were so filled with tears. At home, he does not look like someone who can handle big jobs. But today, I really proud of him. I pray for her safe return. "
Another girl whose father worked at the reactor Fukushima said, "I never saw my mother cry so hard." He wrote on Twitter, "The people in power were struggling, sacrificing themselves to protect you. May the father turns up alive."
Of all those who survive on the plant, five of which are known dead and two missing. At least 21 people were wounded. A female worker who admitted serving in the reactor Fukushima No. 2 when the tsunami struck have been posting on his account on the internet about what happened.
Michiko Otsuki, which has since sought refuge, wrote in a Japanese social networking site that translated The Straits Times as follows: "In the midst of the tsunami alarm at 03.00 at night when we could not see where we go, we continue to work to restore reactors in our place, which is right by the sea, with the awareness that this could mean death. The machine that cools the reactor was actually located by the sea, and destroyed by the tsunami. Every person working furiously to try restore it. "
"Combat fatigue and an empty stomach, we dragged ourselves back to work. There are many that have not been in touch with their family members, but to face this situation and work hard."
Dr. Michio Kaku, a theoretical physicist, told U.S. television networks, ABC, that the situation has worsened in the last days. "We talked about the workers who entered the reactor was possible as a suicide mission," he said.
Michael Friedlander, who has worked in crisis management in the same nuclear power plant in America, added, workers might eat military rations and drinking cold water to survive. "In the midst of the cold, dark, and you do that while trying to make sure you do not contaminate yourself while you're eating," he said.
"I can tell you with 100 percent certainty that they are truly committed to doing whatever is humanly necessary to make the plant is in safe condition, even to risk their own lives."
