The Most Radioactive Human In History
Short Introduction Hisashi Ouchi was a nuclear power plant technician in Tokaimura, Japan, who suffered the highest level of radiation exposure of any human in history. In 1999, due to an obscene lack of safety measures and an abundance of fatal shortcuts, Ouchi and two other workers attempted to mix a new batch of fuel by hand. As a result, the room exploded with a blue flash and Ouchi was exposed to 17 sieverts of radiation. This left him with almost zero white blood cells, no immune system and caused his skin to melt. He passed away in December 1999 after 83 days of intense physical and mental suffering. The accident also caused the hospitalization of 610 people and the death of Ouchi's coworker, Masato Shinohara. The nuclear power plant in Tokaimura has not operated since the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami.
