3 workers exposed to radiation

Japan's Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency said today that three workers have been exposed to doses of radiation measured at 170-180 millisieverts while dealing with an emergency at the No. 3 reactor of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.

According to the agency, two of them were taken to hospital as their legs were injured and contaminated by radioactive substances.

Radioactive leaks were detected after a series of explosions and fires at four of the plant's six reactors following the failure of their cooling functions due to the damaged power supplies in the 9.0 magnitude earthquake that hit Japan on March 11.
