Tokyo Electric Power Company workers struggling to stabilize Japan's crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant risk facing depression or death from overwork.
The workers are not only undertaking dangerous work in severe conditions but also feel a sense of moral responsibility as employees of the firm to blame for the nuclear disaster, one of the worst in the world, Kyodo News quoted Takeshi Tanigawa a doctor, as saying.
Few workers barely escaped death in the March 11 quake and tsunami or the subsequent hydrogen explosions that severely damaged the plant, said Tanigawa.
Some other workers lost their homes or were faced with the deaths of relatives or friends, causing the workers at large to be exposed to multiple stresses, he said.
