Thousands evacuate as Fukishima nuclear emergency is declared

[Peter Lemkin]

Workers at Daiichi are only allowed to be exposed to 250 millisieverts of radiation per year.

Not to worry....so they get 4 x their yearly dose in an hour......hey, these are the men who made the movie Godzilla!...they can take it! No problems...and if the radiation keeps getting stronger, and the capacity of the meters has been matched, well, we can just sacrifice them as was done at Chernobyl.....ten minutes per week [and they still died like flies....]. What someone there seems to not grasp is they have a very big problem that is not going to go away until someone first admits there is a big problem; and then immediately takes drastic action to deal with it on both a short-term and permanent basis. For now, they MUST bury that entire 8 reactor plant as was done at Chernobyl in a sarcophagus. Long-term, Japan has to think about a non-nuclear future...as does the rest of the Planet. The nuclear industry is trying to minimize the whole thing....as they are wont to. They also played down Minimata Bay in Japan [chromium poisoning] and even declared there was no 'radiation sickeness from the atomic bombs'. The one reporter who wrote about it was blackballed and essentially removed from investigative reporting on any newspaper/magazine at the time. The truth will set you free [often free from a paycheck].
