It's not really a concern for infants. The government is being over-cautious again. See The Register for a more balanced view. Basically, the "safe limit" is based on drinking it for a year, which can't happen here; and even if it did, the incidence of problems would be so low as to be scarcely measurable.

This tends to confirm the suspicion that some of these workers may have received very serious radiation exposure.
