Japanese &quot;construction companies&quot; were rounding up homeless people at subway stations and sending them to Fuku cleanup. They got paid around $80&#x2F;day from which their room and board fees are deducted. I recall articles and photos that they didn&#x27;t even have protected footwear, and had to wrap their shoes in plastic bags.<p>If anything, USSR had a more organized and humane (funnily enough) response to Chernobyl.
