responding to
"they are brave to endure the work to save others but most don't care as they lost their familys,houses..etc. "
Meaning they do care about staying alive.
You said:
"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."
How is that any different from what I said? I never claimed that they shouldn't be wearing the protective suits or take breaks.
I was simply responding to the claim that they don't care if they die or not.

You seem to be arguing with yourself. You said that if they did not care about their lives they wouldn't wear protective equipment. Nothing in this thread warranted such a nonsensical remark.
I don't think anyone implied that they did not care about their lives; I interpreted the posts as implying that the people are heroes since they are knowingly killing themselves (or seriously putting their future health at risk) in order to save everyone else.
Someone mentioned that they may be alright with the sacrifice since everything else in their lives was destroyed.
