TEPCO (Tokyo Electric Power Company) has confirmed the extraction of two nuclear plant employees from the Dai-ichi (Big One) nuclear power facility in Fukushima-ken on April 3.
The employees - both of the operation management division of TEPCO apparently died around 4PM on March 11, 2011 - after the 2:46PM 9.0 Magnitude earthquake that hit the facility and about one hour after the tsunami spawned by the earthquake hit.
The bodies were only found in the facility on March 30 - but further time was required to remove radioactive debris from atop them.
According to TEPCO, both workers - who remain anonymous - had died from multiple wounds.
