From your link:

Most of the workers who had internal exposure to radiation visited Fukushima after the nuclear crisis broke out following the March 11 quake and tsunami, and apparently inhaled radioactive substances scattered by hydrogen explosions at the Fukushima No. 1 Nuclear Power Plant.

Again...this was in the immediate aftermath of the crisis, not what they are doing NOW.

The Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency said it received the data from power companies across the country that measured the workers' internal exposure to radiation with "whole-body counters" and recorded levels of 1,500 counts per minute (cpm) or higher. In 1,193 cases, workers had internal exposure to radiation of more than 10,000 cpm. Those workers had apparently returned to their homes near the Fukushima No. 1 Nuclear Power Plant or had moved to other nuclear power plants from the Fukushima No. 1 and 2 nuclear power plants.

Their exposures resulted from staying unprotected in an area in close proximity to the plants after the reactor buildings exploded. This is completely understandable given the chaos of the situation. Within a short period of time later, no one was allowed to stay in that area.

According to Kakizawa, one worker at the Shika Nuclear Power Plant operated by Hokuriku Electric Power Co. in Ishikawa Prefecture returned to his home in Kawauchi, Fukushima Prefecture, on March 13 and stayed there for several hours. He then stayed in Koriyama in the prefecture with his family for one night before moving out of Fukushima. On March 23, he underwent a test at the Shika Nuclear Power Plant that showed his internal exposure to radiation had reached 5,000 cpm. He was thus instructed by the company to remain on standby. The radiation reading dropped below 1,500 cpm two days later, and then he returned to work.

Again, someone being in an unsafe area in the immediate aftermath of the disaster. Note how quickly his the internal contamination decayed...two days and he was back to within acceptable levels. He's going to be just fine.

you have no proof that anyone is going to be just fine. The results of radiologic exposure take time to show themselves and at that point - shills like you demand proof that illness resulted from exposure. There’s always a slimy way out.

TEPCO and Japanese government declared regions SAFE for people -that’s why otherwise well informed nuke workers were there. They suppressed SPEEDI data because it exposed their incompetent management of nuclear power so civilians, including children were exposed for days. They were told to shelter indoors and mayors were specifically instructed to withhold potassium iodide pills (don’t want ‘panic’ now do we - so let them be exposed without protection we promise them when the plants are built!). Only one mayor refused to follow orders and distributed potassium iodide.

They are suppressing health relevant information and services RIGHT NOW and they will continue to do so. They are preventing children from bringing school lunches from home and shipping Fukushima produce and contaminated tea all over Japan and denying medical knowledge of its affects RIGHT NOW. They are denying because countries like the US and Russia have shown them that it’s possible to deny, bat down, and outrun responsibility for decades. They are denying the existance of ‘black dust’ and asking children to clean playgrounds and pools known to be contaminated with radioactive waste RIGHT NOW.
The internet is making it hard on your kind. IMagine if we only had US newspapers to consult.
A citizen simply got in his car and drove around measuring contamination outside the exclusion zone and recorded his data, including the fact that young policemen were stationed at contaminated areas:

Note the disbelief of his supervisor when the citizen explains the radiation findings RIGHT NOW. Yes - complete disbelief. Excellent! For TEPCO and Japanese government that is - they roll over the population demanding their trust and mocking all concern and it is working. People like you ridicule anything but the party line and when some in this population show obvious signs of radiation damage - deny it! Because it has worked in the past. Just don’t expect respect from the populace, m’kay? Individually and as a group, your industry has credibility in the negative numbers....somewhere in the basement where....the Japanese are guessing the molten cores of Fukushima power plants lie.
