Book DescriptionJapan's worst nuclear radiation accident took place at a uranium reprocessing facility inTokaimura, northeast of Tokyo, on 30 September 1999. The direct cause of the accident was citedas the depositing of a uranyl nitrate solution--containing about 16.6 kg of uranium, whichexceeded the critical mass--into a precipitation tank. Three workers were exposed to extremedoses of radiation. Hiroshi Ouchi, one of these workers, was transferred to the University ofTokyo Hospital Emergency Room, three days after the accident. Dr. Maekawa and his staffinitially thought that Ouchi looked relatively well for a person exposed to such radiation levels.He could talk, and only his right hand was a little swollen with redness. However, his conditiongradually weakened as the radioactivity broke down the chromosomes in his cells. The doctorswere at a loss as to what to do. There were very few precedents and proven medical treatments forthe victims of radiation poisoning. Less than 20 nuclear accidents had occurred in the world tothat point, and most of those happened 30 years ago. This book documents the following 83 daysof treatment until his passing, with detailed descriptions and explanations of the radiationpoisoning.
