Anonymous Coward User ID: 4466048 United States 08/13/2013 11:27 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | SRSLY, WTF?!?!? Tepco says workers sprayed by radioactive mist at BUS STOP [ link to www.bloomberg.com] "Ten workers at the wrecked Fukushima nuclear plant were exposed to radiation from contaminated mist used to cool temperatures near a quake-proof building, plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Co. (9501) said. "The workers were waiting for a bus when they were sprayed, according to Tepco, as the Fukushima Dai-Ichi plant’s operator is known. It was unknown how the mist became contaminated, Tepco said in an e-mailed statement. "The workers’ exposure above the neck was found to be as much as 10 becquerels per square centimeter. They were ordered to receive full body scans, which can detect exposure to their inner organs." To paraphrase the rest: the mist which "was being used to cool temperatures" [specifically unspecific] WAS TURNED OFF AFTER THE INCIDENT. Workers were directed to not use the tap water, which came from the same source as the mist.So the headline needs to be re-written to say "TEPCO ADMITS TAP WATER IS RADIOACTIVE TO DEADLY LEVELS". |
