> ¥200,000 ($2,470) a month

This is a bit of a false comparison, because 200,000 yen has about the same buying power here as 2000 USD does in America -- maybe a bit less. These guys really are underpaid.

I scoffed at the story from the Chernobyl worker on AOL news, but seeing this makes me wonder; why are these workers cloistered away from everyone else? Why aren't they being compensated for the hazard? Why isn't anyone telling them what radiation levels are?
