Nuclear cleanup crews 'committed to die' - UPI.com

April 1, 2011 Workers repeatedly exposed to high radiation while trying to avert a nuclear disaster in Japan expect to die for their efforts, a team member's mother said. The so-called "Fukushima 50," a group of about 300 technicians, soldiers and firemen who work in shifts of 50 at the earthquake-crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, have discussed their situation and realize death is strongly possible, the mother of one of the workers told The Daily Telegraph of London.
