Three workers were exposed to extreme levels of neutron beams as a result." "Japan's public broadcaster, NHK (Nippon Hoso Kyokai, or Japan Broadcasting Corporation), documented the step-by-step deterioration and intense medical treatment of one of those workers. This book is the print version of that celebrated feature and includes an afterword that updates the narrative."--BOOK JACKET.
