'I'll be away from home for a while!'

Bringing in the amount of radioactivity that can be lethal at any time, a 59-year-old 'suicide force' encourages his wife with e-mail rushes: 'You and I continue to live well, I'll have to away from home for a while. Everyone at the factory is fighting. '

In the story of the New York Times , it was one of the last 180 people to stay at the factory, divided into teams to ensure that 50 people were always working on the scene and it was called the Fukushima 50 army. They were not given names, photos or any other details by Tokyo Electric Power Company, but there is information from Jiji Press that most of these people are over 50 and about to retire.

'I have to swallow my eyes while I hear that my father, who will retire after six months, volunteered to stay - his daughter expressed on Twitter - It seems at home that my father doesn't work. big, but today I'm really proud of you '.

' My mother never cried like that. Dad went to the nuclear plant. People there are sacrificing themselves to protect me and my friends. Pray for my father to return home! '

Japanese TV station NHK also read a letter saying: ' My father still works at the factory even though there is nothing left to eat. Dad said Dad had accepted fate to end there . '

Not until there was an explosion in the reactor did Japanese experts come to work. Michiko Otsuki, a female employee of Tokyo Electric Power Company, said that even after the earthquake, they ignored the tsunami warning to hold the position at the Fukushima plant.

' It was around midnight at the time, although we could see nothing, we continued our work although we knew this would be related to life - Michiko said - Now they are fighting, not backing up, not running. hide even when sacrificing '.

Some factory workers have died in explosions at Fukushima Daiichi and now high levels of radiation will cause 70% of the workers in this last line to die in two weeks.

' These employees are involved in a heroic mission - former US Department of Energy official Robert Alvarez, commenting - N radioactivity, there is a risk of huge hydrogen gas explosion, enough to fly two buildings. .

Dr Ira Helfand from American Physicists for Social Responsibility said: 'These lifeguards are trained to understand the dangers. They knew that if the reactor completely melted, there would be a major disaster affecting many large areas and many people. We are all grateful to them . '

The world has known and honored the spirit of Japanese people, the country is famous for its martial arts spirit ' when lying down like falling cherry blossoms, still wings, the color is still fresh' . It's no exaggeration to say that the safety of thousands of Japanese people is in the hands of this suicide team.

Of course, this last ' front line ' is nuclear experts and they understand more about the dangers of radiation to health. Although they have the most advanced protective devices in hand, they still know that radioactive molecules can penetrate any protective clothing, penetrate the skin, into the blood, into the lungs .

But they still crawl through the complex equipment systems of the factory to do the task. Around them was darkness and with a flashlight in hand, they listened to a steady explosion when hydrogen gas escaped from the reactor and impacted the outside air.

On their backs were oxygen bottles, heavy breathing aids, on them were tight-fitting suits that could block part of the radiation. If they did not continue their work, the reactor would be in danger of completely melting, causing thousands of tons of radioactive dust to fly into the air, causing millions of their compatriots to suffer disaster.

Today the team still uses different options to cool down the reactor at Fukushima Daiichi like using a helicopter to pour seawater down. But no results yet. However, Japan is being supported by international nuclear experts to cope with this disaster. Yesterday, the United States moved here high-pressure pumps to jointly cool the reactor.

There will not be a second Chernobyl disaster in Japan but the problem so far still many people compare it to Chernobyl. When the disaster struck in 1986, 176 power plant employees exposed a large amount of radioactivity and many died a few weeks later, 28 died in the following 3 months, 106 people were ill related to the launch. radiation such as vomiting, diarrhea, blood cell reduction, blood cancer.

The Chernobyl employees were exposed to radiation much larger than the current Fukushima Daiichi, especially helicopter pilots flying on the reactor to pour down the fire.

Currently, the amount of radiation at Fukushima Daiichi is about 400 millisievert per hour after an explosion inside the No. 2 reactor and fire in the No. 4 reactor. When the radiation level reaches 1,000 millisievert, it can cause radioactive diseases mentioned above. In the area of ​​high radioactivity, the staff will change shifts continuously within a few minutes.
