In the midst of the crisis at the Fukushima nuclear power plant, a team of 50 scientists, engineers and technicians volunteered to contain the disaster. These professionals, aware of the extreme danger, worked under conditions of massive radiation, pumping seawater into the damaged reactors after the earthquake and tsunami that had disabled the cooling systems.
Facing radiation levels thousands of times higher than permitted, they took the risk of suffering serious consequences to their health to avoid a greater catastrophe.
