Reply #26: doesn't sound like radiation to me.

TOKYO (Dow Jones)--A worker at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant died after collapsing at the site Saturday, with the cause of death still unclear but apparently unrelated to any radiation dangers at the plant, operator Tokyo Electric Power Co. (9501) said.

The man in his 60s complained that he wasn't feeling well when he was working inside a building for waste disposal in the early morning.

He was unconscious and not breathing when he was taken to a doctor's room within the plant's premise.

The death was later confirmed at a hospital. The worker, who belonged to a subcontracting firm, was on his second day of work at the complex. His exposure to radiation was 0.17 milisievert, which is within normal levels, and no radioactive contamination was found on his clothes, the spokesman for Tepco said.

"Although Matsumoto said no exact cause of his death has been found as yet, he stressed that no radioactivity at harmful levels was detected in the worker’s body, and that he was fully covered with a mask, gloves and radiation protection suit."

unless radiation exposure is massive, you don't just keel over.
