This article will get down voted by Lemmy's rabid nuclear energy crowd.

The title is a bit misleading

They were taken as a precaution because they were exposed to the threshold of safe levels of radiation and they'll be chilling at the hospital for a couple weeks of observation as per standard for those kinds of events. The workers are stable.

Honestly this article doesn't seem like it should have even been written for how much of a non-issue it is. It was a workplace incident where the individuals are being checked out at the hospital as a precaution.

I work in the freight industry and if we had an article written about every incident that was this much of a non-issue we'd have about 500 PER DAY. Source.

It was written for the sole purpose of anti-nuclear propaganda.

Most people only read the title and it will be used as a gotcha
