Soviet authorities in Chernobyl made a rotation of rescuers. I posted a link to british documentary where a group of volunteers was shown. Robots did not work any long time at rooftor of damaged reactor because their electronic blocks of remote control failed due to very high level of ionizing radiation. So authorities picked up humans. Each volunteer wore gas mask, rubber suit with protective shields made of lead. They had a minute to get rooftop from a nearby service compartment, grab radioactive pieces of fuel or graphite, drop them into broken reactor and run away...After them, fresh group run onto rooftop....
Are those guys at Fukushima have a similar sort of rotation scheme, I wonder?
