3 patients exposed to radiation in Fukushima


The 3 were chosen randomly for radiation testing from 90 patients and staff who were waiting for airlift by helicopter at a nearby high school on Saturday afternoon....

This seems to suggest that the other 87 were also exposed and, presumably, anybody else around there. If these three were indeed randomly chosen, then many others must also be in need of decontamination. Is something being lost in the translation?
