Recently theguardian.com published an article, Fukushima nuclear disaster: first worker diagnosed with cancer linked to cleanup. In this article, it was reported, "Before his diagnosis the man had been exposed to 16 millisieverts (mSv)
of radiation at Fukushima and a further 4 mSv during three months he
spent at another nuclear plant in 2012." theguardian.com concluded, "The man’s exposure to relatively low amounts of radiation – lower, even,
than those deemed safe enough for residents to return to their homes –
could prompt a rethink of the government’s push to promote the
resettlement of displaced Fukushima evacuees."
I believe that there is an obvious slant by theguardian.com. While
there are dissenting opinions inserted into the article; their placement
is not balanced journalism, but rather an attempt to refute the
position. Please, read the article from the link above. Keep in mind that a U.S. radiation worker's annual dose limit is 50 mSv. Make an informed assessment of this article and share your thoughts in the comments below.
