[ RadSafe ] ] [Radsafe] News: One worker at Ibaraki facility found with up to 22, 000 becquerels of plutonium in lungs

"There are documented cases of workers at nuclear weapons facilities
dying within days of experiencing brief accidental exposure to
plutonium, according to the Hazardous Substances Data Bank."
