    TEPCO issued further info about the workers sent to the hospital:

    - On March 24th, it was confirmed that 3 workers from cooperative companies who were in charge of cable laying work in the 1st floor and the underground floor of turbine building were exposed to the radiation dose of more than 170 mSv. 2 of them were confirmed that their leg skin were contaminated. Although they were decontaminated, since it is judged that there is possibility of beta ray burn injury, they were transferred to Fukushima Medical University Hospital. After medical examination at Fukushima Medical University Hospital, they will be transferred to National Institute of Radiological Sciences in Chiba Prefecture today (March 25) and stay for around four days to survey the situation. Inspection result of the water that the workers stepped in will be announced when it is reported.
