Fukushima Plant Worker Suffers Cardiac Arrest

Tokyo, Aug. 22 (Jiji Press)--Tokyo Electric Power Co. <9501> said Wednesday that a man in his 50s suffered cardiac arrest while working at the stricken Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power and was taken to hospital by ambulance.

According to TEPCO, the employee of a subcontractor for Hitachi-GE Nuclear Energy Ltd., was installing an additional tank to store contaminated water when he collapsed for unknown reasons, TEPCO said.

He started working at the plant in August last year.

The cumulative combined radiation dose inside and outside the body of the man was at 25.24 millisieverts.

On Wednesday alone, the dose was 0.03 millisievert, the power utility said.
