Nuclear worker

In 2011 in Japan a nuclear meltdown happened causing a huge release of radioactive material. The active reactors had to be taken care of, but the closer to this reactor you were, the higher was the stake. The radioactive material was so toxic, that it was recomended for the population to be many kilometers away. These workers had to be in physical contact with it in order to shut it down. Many of them died. Dangerous job indeed.
