the earthquake & tsunami left
300,000 homeless ,
020,000 or more killed, (92.5% by drowning) ,
among Fukushima workers;
000,300 received significant radiation doses,
000,030 had exposure levels greater than 100 mSv,
000,006 exceeded lifetime radiation legal limits,
000,004 developed & survived leukemia & thyroid cancer
000,001 has died after 6 years?
2018/08/31 the government decided the grieving family should be paid compensation
for a 28 year career nuclear worker in his 50s that continued working at the plant until 2015
who was then diagnosed with lung cancer in Feb 2016
after he had been exposed to about 195 millisieverts (mSv) of radiation "total"
100 mSv a year is “the lowest level at which any increase in cancer risk is clearly evident.”
but lung cancer is not the type of cancer caused by nuclear accidents
lung cancer in Japan is the fourth most common type, behind breast, colorectal & stomach,
in the United States, 46% of men and 38% of women will get cancer but only 24% die
In Japan, most of them will die from it but it’s only 20% of the population?
A May 2012 United Nations committee report the 6 workers died, NOT from radiation exposure but ;
2 workers died from multiple external injuries & blood loss at age 21& 24
2 workers in their 60s died from heart failure brought on by heat stroke from wearing full-body radiation protection gear
2 workers died from "other" (original synopsis is missing )
the Sievert is a measure of the health effect of low levels of ionizing radiation on the human body
