Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (1F), a partner company's worker
who had been engaged in concrete placement work reported his physical
disorder. He was carried to the emergency medical room of 1F's Unit 5/6

For reference, no radioactive materials were found to be attached to the
worker's body.
