Workers Decontaminate the Entrance to #Fukushima Reactor 2 in Prep for Installing Thermocouples

Workers wearing suits marked with "Toshiba" logo hustled to spread yellow, strippable paint on the floor of the entrance (Truck Bay Door) to the Reactor 2 building at Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant. The workers had tested different methods to decontaminate, and using the strippable paint had proven to be most effective.

(UPDATE) Workers were mostly removing beta nuclides by using the paint. See my new post on the decon testing which has the beta+gamma radiation levels on the floor surface.
