Japan's Fukushima nuclear plant cleanup faces setback as worker detects high radiation in nose

IndiaTimes Saturday, 16 December 2023
A worker at Japan's Fukushima nuclear plant has been found to have elevated radiation levels in his nasal area, highlighting the ongoing risks associated with the cleanup efforts at the facility crippled in 2011. The worker's face came into contact with radioactive materials as he removed a full-face mask. Despite this incident, the employee has not exhibited any adverse health effects, and a comprehensive body scan revealed no internal contamination. This incident follows a similar occurrence three months ago when four workers were exposed to water containing radioactive materials.
