There is a great (yet horrific) book about this.

A Slow Death: 83 Days of Radiation Sickness

Highly recommend it.

https://www.amazon.fr/Slow-Death-Days-Radiation-Sickness/dp/1942993544 read this. It’s a book about the slow death of a Japanese guy who got exposed to high doses of radiation after an nuclear accident. The book follows his battle that lasted 83 days. There is a picture of him on his last days and you don’t want to see that. It’s horrifying.
On a side note, radiation sickness is fascinating. What it can do to the body is terrifyingly interesting.

This book should be required reading for all nuclear workers and admin. If you fuck up as a worker, this is how you will die. If you fuck up as a manager, this how your workers will die

This chronicles the japanese workers death mentioned in the article. It has grisly photos too, like images from a horror movie

Thats how he died. Please note that by that time, limbs were falling off.

Also it seems only criticality safety engineers should be promoted to management

You can read the book about the scenario. It’s an interesting read. [Amazon]

No problem. If you're interested in the effects of radiation on the human body, I'd also recommend A Slow Death: 83 Days of Radiation Sickness. It follows an accident in Japan in 1999 that resulted in 3 workers being exposed to huge levels of radiation. The focus of the book is on Hiroshi Ouchi, the worker that received the highest dose. The radiation effectively destroyed his chromosomes, so his cells could no longer replicate. Despite certain death, doctors kept him alive for 83 days. He was cognizant the whole time.

the book released by the NHK who recorded the whole thing. You can buy it on amazon and give it a read like I did.

Try "The Lampshade" and "A Slow Death: 83 Days of Radiation Sickness". My husband doesn't even like to touch them.

A book was written about the third guy called A Slow Death: 83 Days of Radiation Sickness. He was left alive for research purposes and until this we really didn't know that much about severe radiation sickness.

It's a thoroughly good book and I'd recommend it to anyone who's interested in the subject.
