Technicians described as “wearing goggles and duct tape” risked their lives when entering the highly radioactive reactor areas to attempt to gain control over reactors that leaked into the water and air.
The techs used duct tape specifically to seal their gloves and boots to their “moon suits” in an attempt to prevent direct exposure to the air.
