Hiroshi Couchi
In 1999, Japanese scientists were conducting an experiment combining uranium and uranyl nitrate solution to see if it would dissolve in water, creating a self-contained radioactive coolant chamber. The experiment failed miserably and caused a massive meltdown, affecting Couchi the worst. Couchi suffered for 83 days until he eventually passed, a documentary team spend those days with him, observing his descent into radioactive death.
