Publisher's Synopsis
Based on a TV documentary of the same name, this is a record of the intensive treatment and eventual death of a worker who was involved in the radiation accident at Tokaimura nuclear fuel preparation plant in 1999. Extending beyond its screen counterpart, new photos, discussion and analyses are presented. The fate of the irradiated plant worker is examined candidly - exposing in full the gradual deterioration and suffering, exposing provocative questions about the value of human life. The renewed interest in nuclear energy is sobered by this account.
