Radiation Survey in Fukushima Prefecture & Workers on the Radiation Frontline (Videos)

Tens of thousands of workers have been employed in decontamination of areas of Fukushima contaminated by the March 2011 nuclear disaster at Fukushima Daiichi.
Greenpeace radiation surveys in October 2018 showed high levels of contamination in areas where workers were operating. In testimony to Greenpeace, former decontamination worker Mr Ikeda explained the risks of radiation exposure experienced by workers, as well as how they receive very little and inadequate radiation training, how radiation data and identification data is unreliable and open to manipulation. United Nations Human Rights Special Rapporteurs have warned the Japanese government of the urgent situation for thousands of workers, at risk of exploitation, including homeless, asylum seekers and foreign workers. The Greenpeace report released on 8 March 2019, “On the Frontline of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Disaster”, focuses on the radiation risks to workers and children and the on-going violation of their human rights by the Japanese government.
