"OGAKI, Japan—When Masayuki Sakamoto stepped onto the grounds of the world's most dangerous nuclear power plant in March, he had little preparation other than a half-hour briefing on protective gear.
The 56-year-old owner of a 30-person construction firm from central Japan had been hired to clear debris and shovel dirt at the Fukushima Daiichi plant at a time when its reactors were belching smoke and oozing gamma rays. He had never worn a hazmat suit or used a dosimeter. He still doesn't have the proper paperwork that, in normal times, would be needed to work in a radioactive environment."
