According to Japan's Kyodo News Agency, Japan's Tokyo Electric Power Company announced on the 14th that the staff who were contaminated with radioactive materials at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant on the 11th had a preliminary assessment of the radiation dose in the next 50 years at 038 millisieverts, no health effects.

According to the report, TEPCO believes that the reason for the man's internal exposure may be that he removed the mask without fully loosening the strap after finishing the job, causing the outside of the contaminated mask to touch his face.
TEPCO said that in the next month or so, it will analyze the radioactive material contained in the man's urine and feces to determine the value.
In addition, in October, it was reported that two male staff members were splashed with waste containing radioactive materials while cleaning the pipes of the multi-nuclide removal equipment (ALPS) at the nuclear power plant, and TEPCO also announced the results of the actual radiation assessment of the impact on the whole body, which were 09 mSieverts and 06 mSieverts. This value does not exceed the 5 millisieverts that must be reported to the Atomic Energy Regulation Commission and is said to have no health effects.
Japan's "Asahi Shimbun" reported that in response to the successive incidents of staff being contaminated with radioactive materials, the person in charge of TEPCO said that we are deeply sorry for the concern caused to the staff and the public, and will take thorough measures to prevent similar incidents from happening again.
Previously reported, TEPCO said on December 11 that a worker working on a furnace at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant had a face contaminated with radioactive materials. On October 25, a radioactive waste sputtering incident occurred at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, in which five workers engaged in the treatment of nuclear-contaminated water were sputtered with radioactive waste, and two of them were rushed to the hospital.
