Meanwhile, Shinohara absorbed 10,000 mSv, while Yokokawa, who was just yards away at a desk, was hit by an estimated 3,000 mSv, The safety limit is 20 mSv per year, with 5,000 mSv considered deadly, as the men were all rushed to a local hospital.
During that time, Ouchi deteriorated over a course of 83 days, as the radiation slowly saw his skin peel away, and his eyelids 'fall off' as the tissues in his body died.
As his skin loss became more rapid, he would leak litres of bodily fluids through his exposed flesh, with medics trying skin grafts and stem cell transplants to replace them, but they were sadly making no difference.
Hisashi Ouchi, 35, from Japan, was exposed to a record-breaking amount of radiation after working at a uranium processing plant in Tokaimura, 70 miles northeast of Tokyo.
The cells in his gut that help absorb food and medication also died, which led to horrific stomach pains, and him producing a staggering three litres of diarrhoea each day.
