He was almost 50 miles from the accident site and in the opposite direction of the prevailing winds, and radiation alarms immediately started going off. “The radiation levels we were seeing were 1,000 times background, higher in spots. If we had been working on a site this contaminated in the US, we would have been fully suited up in radiation protection suits, gloves, and respirators. Yet people were walking around and going about their business, with no idea of how contaminated everything around them."
