TEPCO now says 2,000 Fukushima workers were exposed to high radiation doses

TEPCO as usual is incapable of telling the truth or protecting its employees from dangerous  work environments.   Like Richard Nixon their goal is to obstruct and prevent any meaningful investigation of their actions from taking.  If, on Sunday the LDP gains a majority in upper house elections as expected TEPCO will never be held accountable as they wholly own the LDP.

Estimated radiation doses in thyroid glands exceeded safe levels in nearly 2,000 people who worked at the stricken Fukushima nuclear plant, more than 10 times the number previously announced, The Asahi Shimbun has learned.
The larger figure was deduced after doubts were raised both at home and abroad over the results of Tokyo Electric Power Co.’s belated first study on the workers’ health.
TEPCO, the nuclear plant’s operator, said in December that radiation doses topped 100 millisieverts--the widely accepted threshold for an increase in the risk of cancer--in 178 people, with a maximum reading of 11,800 millisieverts.
But that figure covered only a fraction of those who have braved the high radiation levels to try to bring the nuclear crisis under control.
The workers themselves say TEPCO has provided little or no information about radiation doses in their thyroid glands. Some have stopped working at the crippled Fukushima No. 1 plant.
