Japan to pay Fukushima worker cancer compensation

Japan's government has acknowledged that a worker involved in clean-up work at the Fukushima nuclear plant may have developed cancer as a result. 

Officials say that  the man will be entitled to compensation for work-related illness, in the first cancer case linked to the Fukushima plant meltdown

The man worked at the damaged plant for more than a year, and was exposed to a total of 19.8 millisieverts of radiation during that period. Three other workers are waiting to have their cancer cases assessed, but more than 45.000 people have worked there.

There’s an anti-nuclear mood in Japan nowadays due to the Fukushima accident, but despite opposition, the Prime Minister wants to restart the nuclear plants.

In conclusion, cancer is a really important and worrying item to talk nowadays. Ministers are only care about their interests rather than worrying about the human health and welfare. But why they should worry about us if we are to them as his subjects.
