Officials said 50 workers were still there trying to put water into the reactors to cool them. They say 800 other staff were evacuated. The fires and explosions at the reactors have injured 15 workers and military personnel and exposed up to 190 people to elevated radiation
These people in particular I admire the hell out of. They're risking their lives to protect everyone else.
And these are people who have already lost their homes and family members.
Similarly in Chernobyl in 1986, there were a few men who went in and shut down the Chernobyl reactor, who knew that doing so was exposing them to fatal amounts of radiation.
But did so willingly to save millions of others, and permanently shut down the Chernobyl nuclear reactor core.
