More than 53,000 employees at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant have exceeded the critical radiation exposure threshold of 5 millisieverts per year, as reported by Jiji Press.
This level is significant for workers seeking compensation for leukemia linked to their employment, according to data from Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings. The figures span 15 years, concluding in March 2023, following the catastrophic meltdowns in March 2011.
