Takeo Iwamoto, representative of the company that manages the Japanese nuclear plant Fukushima 1, Tokyo Electric Power (TEPCO) said on Saturday that six workers were exposed to high radiation levels, although still working to solve the problem created by the earthquake. "No adverse health effects and it remains uncertain whether they were assigned to other tasks," Iwamoto said, adding that they were exposed to more than 100 mSv.
100 millisieverts The government set a limit to work in an emergency operation in the nuclear power plant in Japan. However, the threshold has risen to 250 by the crisis generated after the magnitude 9 earthquake that hit the country and triggered a tsunami on 11 March. The level in a normal work situation at a nuclear power should not exceed 50 millisieverts.
Both TEPCO nuclear plants in Fukushima (250 km northeast of Tokyo), which have a total of ten reactors, stand since the quake, which damaged the cooling facilities. The Red Cross is appealing for money from the account. For the time will not be installed collection centers for donations in kind by the high cost would represent the movement of goods to the affected areas in Japan.
Beware of websites that provide mechanisms for donations. Security agencies warn that could result in fraudulent campaigns. The Mexican Red Cross is the only institution authorized by the Embassy of Japan to manage aid to the victims of the earthquake and subsequent tsunami that killed thousands in China.
