Death of a Fukushima Daiichi Worker
In May 2011, a 60-year old worker collapsed from a heart attack in the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.
At the time there was no resident medical doctors in the plant. It took 2 hours and 40 minutes for him to be carried to a hospital out of the evacuation zone. There he was found to be dead.
The man was dispatched to Fukushima Daiichi by a subcontractor at the fourth level under the engineering giant Toshiba. On the day, he started from accommodation facilities outside an evacuation zone at 2 a.m. Then at 6 A.M. he began to work in the plant, carrying a 50 kg iron cutter with his colleague, but in 20 minutes he fell on the ground.
He had only one family: the Thai wife. His employer, namely a fourth-level subcontractor of Toshiba, gave just half a million yen ($6,000) to her, telling her to go back to Thailand.
It is outrageous that a wife who lost her husband, due to the onset of illness while working for a recovery project in Fukushsima Daiichi, received only $6,000 and nothing else from any body, including Toshiba, TEPCO, and the Japanese Government.

Even today about 6,000 workers are engaged in recovery work of four reactor units of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant that has six reactor units. Most of them are replaced in a four-month period with new workers.
