Subcontractor Tells Fukushima Workers To Hide Radiation Exposure

First time accepted submitter fredprado writes "Apparently at least one subcontractor hired to clean up the Fukushima site has been urging their workers to put their radiation detectors lined under lead shieldings. A diagram can be seen here. The authorities decided not to prosecute him, even after one employee presenting them recordings of him trying to talk the said employee into it."

    You can't keep up. They will import desperate workers from impoverished countries.

    This isnt "the worker losing", its "impoverished people getting job opportunities." Now, justify to me why Raj in India DOESNT deserve your job if he's poor as dirt and is willing to work harder for less than you?

    Or is this "I want to defend workers rights, as long as the worker is me"?

    Are you being paid by TEPCO to tell lies or are you just a worthless piece of shit who has no fucking idea whatsoever about the physics of ionizing radiation, radiation safety or how dosimeters work? I'm leaning towards the latter myself. You're just some conservative or libertarded piece of shit who wanted to post some stupid shit and rant about "ignorant journalists and nutty lefty conspiracy theorists". If you start looking at radiation accidents you find that a depressingly large number of them happen because of stupid fucking bastards like you who say stupid shit like "oh, that alarm always goes off, so we just ignore it." or "ignore those dosimeter readings, they're never accurate." I'll bet that you're one of those dumbfucks who puts a piece of black tape over his "check engine light" because it's always going on and because he thinks he's smarter than the people who design engine management systems and then complains when his engine burns out six months later . Newsflash emt377, you stupid piece of shit, dosimeters are made and designed by people, who unlike you, are intelligent and know what the fuck they're doing. They work their asses off to make sure that these devices deliver readings that are accurate because they know that people's lives and health depend upon it. The rule in radiation safety is that you always trust the dosimeter, if the your dosimeter readings are higher it's because you're being exposed to higher amounts of radiation.

    Stupid bastards like you deserve to be forced at gunpoint to work cleanup at Fukushima, with no protective gear whatsoever. Either that or you should be forced to wear a Cobalt-60 jock strap until your balls and dick fall off and there's no longer any danger of you producing offspring who will further pollute the gene pool.
