So sad. Many of these children will develop leukemia.
They should have all been evacuated as soon as possible after the explosion.
Did you see this? (Fukushima)
“”Today, our hospital received a written notice signed by both the Ministry of Education and Science and the Ministry of Health and Welfare. The notice says “The medical checkups and research of the residents in the areas affected by the nuke plant accident are allowed only if the permission to do so is given by the related scientific societies and associations; otherwise it would only increase the burden on the residents.”

I bet they try to hamstring the free clinic, too! Claim it’s putting a ‘burden’ on the residents?
Prayers for the people of Japan as they contend with radioactive waste, TEPCO and the Japanese government.
Thanks for your luddistic knee-jerk response P !! All emotionalism and no science.......Like others’ comparison of Fukishima to Hiroshima and Nagasaki, all that’s “proven” is a dearth of knowledge on radiation and radiological effects.
Blood tests will establish the real facts. As will “whole body counts”. Skin is an effective radiation barrier. Add clothing and it gets better. Most important is preventing ingestion due to the differing nature of epithelian cells lining our gut from those covering our outside. >PS
