169. sounds like reactor 3
Edited on Fri Mar-25-11 10:46 AM by divvy
It *sounds* as though two workers were sent under Reactor 3... a previous survey of the area had not revealed a radioactive water threat and these workers were sent in with less than adequate leg/foot protection for what they encountered... they encountered a radioactive puddle... their dosimeter alarms went off but they ignored it and forged ahead... they stepped or stood in the puddle and received radiation burns... subsequent analysis of the puddle water revealed contamination which Japan's Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency thinks is consistent with a leak from the core.

A report on the water.
