Regarding the April 20 article "Nuke workers at risk of overwork death": The treatment of workers at the stricken Fukushima nuclear power plant is outrageous. They should be better taken care of in terms of the time they spend working, sleeping, eating, etc. They are working for the sake of the country and should be treated decently.

It is terrible that senior executives of Tepco are not working with the technicians under the same conditions.
