Workers at the arch sit in chairs that measure the radiation dose their bodies have received. Nuclear workers in the US can legally receive 50 millisieverts of radiation per year, the equivalent of a 1,000 x-rays. Radiation varies around the site, with higher dose rates closer to the sarcophagus, requiring special suits, but a typical dose is about .006 millisieverts per day. The highest dose anyone got on the site in 2015 was 13 millisieverts. CREDIT: John Wendle for The Wall Street Journal
