if any 1 of those 6 reactors go to complete meltdown they will
have to move all personnel from the site, so who is left to cool
the remaining 5 reactors?

another problem is radiation exposure and worker limits: once
they reach their limit, they must be pulled out and cannot return
since exposure is cumulative, and can't be relieved by a brief stay
away.

Exactly....

The existing few workers remaining are working hard and long under extreme heat and are becoming exhausted, they need relief.
Tokyo Electric are now "considering other steps to cool reactors." Quite what they mean I don't know.

Radiation Exposure

Apparently Tokyo Electric's solution to the issue of maximum radiation exposure was to double the limit....this can't be good.
