5 workers at Fukushima plant doused with radioactive fluid
#1

The liquid splashed onto the five workers. They were wearing protective gear and full-face masks, which prevented ingestion of the fluid.

However, the liquid reached the skin of four workers. Despite immediate rinsing at the plant, the radiation levels of the bodies of two men did not fall below the standard threshold of 4 becquerels per square centimeter.

Thus, the two workers--one in his 20s whose entire body was found to be exposed, and the other in his 40s whose lower body and both arms were confirmed to be exposed--were transported to a hospital in Fukushima city on the night of Oct. 25.
