Hi Dean, I hope some good lawyers have come to help the family, they will need them.
by lillymunster 7/12/2011 2:52:55 AM

but no lawyers will bring him back to life
by nuckelchen 7/12/2011 2:53:40 AM

indeed lilly
by dean 7/12/2011 2:53:42 AM

@nuckelchen No they won't and it should not have taken a workers death to get TEPCO to do anything about worker safety.
by lillymunster 7/12/2011 2:54:40 AM

not by stress or "overwork". they should check their workers' health before sending them to work. this is tepco's fault.
by Edano 7/12/2011 2:54:53 AM

the reason for a heart attack are the result of the living in past of the attack
by nuckelchen 7/12/2011 2:54:59 AM

no,they should take care of them
by nuckelchen 7/12/2011 2:55:19 AM

the luxus to pick just the one out with the best body shape is no opinion
by nuckelchen 7/12/2011 2:55:54 AM

@nuckelchen ?? didn't understand the last post?
by lillymunster 7/12/2011 2:56:29 AM

and if some get hurt,doesn't matter why...help must happen directly
by nuckelchen 7/12/2011 2:56:33 AM

there is no choice to check the body fitness of the workers
by nuckelchen 7/12/2011 2:57:03 AM

@nuckelchen It took all of this for the Labor Ministry to show up and make TEPCO do something about heat and work conditions. Yes, they should all be having a physical. Trying to work in the heat in radiation suits is like an extreme athletic event.
by lillymunster 7/12/2011 2:58:06 AM

may like working with many peoples together eatch other will keep an eye for others
by nuckelchen 7/12/2011 2:58:14 AM

and more importent is to give everybody there a single dosimeter
by nuckelchen 7/12/2011 2:59:16 AM

they seem to have a doctor on the site at least.
by Edano 7/12/2011 2:59:31 AM

and a helicopter for emergencies they should have.
by Edano 7/12/2011 2:59:57 AM

on site? better were on place
by nuckelchen 7/12/2011 3:00:02 AM

@nuckelchen I heard they made shifts shorter. Still hard when it is that hot out. I think all have a personal dosimeter now, they should have had them by the second day.
by lillymunster 7/12/2011 3:00:10 AM

nope,recorded stream shows one of ten only have a...sad
by nuckelchen 7/12/2011 3:00:50 AM

@Edano Elaine found the TEPCO document from June that talked about medical staff. They have some sort of medical tech and now minimum of 1 doctor at J Village all the time.
by lillymunster 7/12/2011 3:01:16 AM

@nuckelchen really? were you looking at a recorded video of them doing work?
by lillymunster 7/12/2011 3:01:38 AM

no no, just seen it on the tepco stream ...friday or so
by nuckelchen 7/12/2011 3:02:29 AM

@nuckelchen hmm. I can ask Elaine tomorrow, she might know.

@Dean, do personal dosimeters go under the tyvek suit?
by lillymunster 7/12/2011 3:03:26 AM

@lillymunster : where is j village ?
by Edano 7/12/2011 3:04:08 AM

@lilly:dosimeters are big as to packs of cigarettes.and how closer to the body that will count,more better it is.
by nuckelchen 7/12/2011 3:05:21 AM

@lilly.. they are typically put on the outside of the last garment

by dean 7/12/2011 3:05:22 AM

@Edano by Daini. That is where they have the dorms and essential services.
by lillymunster 7/12/2011 3:05:27 AM

@dean last garment being coveralls or tyvek?
by lillymunster 7/12/2011 3:05:54 AM

@ lilly.. there are exceptions.. they have things like finger wands and wrist ones that can be worn on the skin under the coveralls also
by dean 7/12/2011 3:06:06 AM

I have this image from a worker showing his dosimeter. He was/is working at J Village houseoffoust.com
by lillymunster via Houseoffoust 7/12/2011 3:06:28 AM

@lilly it depends on the radiation levels... but for fukushima the tyvek would be the last covering
by dean 7/12/2011 3:06:35 AM

@dean so dosimeters should be visible then?
by lillymunster 7/12/2011 3:07:00 AM

the workers would want the dosimeter where it could be heard and read
by dean 7/12/2011 3:07:11 AM

just for them who wears one...
by nuckelchen 7/12/2011 3:07:31 AM

lots of times they send in what's called a chirper.. and it makes sounds as the radiation level increases.. like a chirp.. and then buzzzz
by dean 7/12/2011 3:07:46 AM

every person going into the zone area should have dosimetry on
by dean 7/12/2011 3:08:07 AM

the prob is, that the illness of radiation overdose will not shown directly...just in high rates
by nuckelchen 7/12/2011 3:08:23 AM

individual dosimetry to track dose
by dean 7/12/2011 3:08:24 AM

@dean is a chirper an extra equipment beyond the personal dosimeter?
by lillymunster 7/12/2011 3:08:41 AM

@dean:not should-must
by nuckelchen 7/12/2011 3:08:59 AM

nuckelchen.. if they have the right dosimetry on .. it shows accumulated dose which is susposed to be recoreded each day for the persons total dose... then a whole body count to back that up

by dean 7/12/2011 3:09:56 AM

@nuckelchen yes, TEPCO was telling people all workers have personal meters. The Labor Ministry was around so people assumed it was fixed. If it hasn't been fixed that needs to be fixed right away.
by lillymunster 7/12/2011 3:10:40 AM

yes lilly.. every plant has some brand name system that they use.. but most use the chirper type to go into high radiation level areas... in addition to a film back to pick up .. beta and gamma and alpha
by dean 7/12/2011 3:10:53 AM

@nuckelchen @dean the photo I posted. That is that workers total to date dose but they are at J Village not going to Daiichi.
by lillymunster 7/12/2011 3:11:19 AM
