I think they absolutely do care.

Do you actually think before you type? They work in shifts with protective gear with a clear acknowledgment that they may lose their lives as a result of the exposure to deadly radioactive materials. They are willing to lose their own lives to protect everyone else.
They wear the protective gear and work in short shifts so they can prolong their existence since it is unlikely someone else can fill their shoes.
I am not sure how a body reacts to high exposure rates, but if you want someone to think clearly and be able to do a job, then you minimize the ill effects that the radiation has.
