Congress faces pressure to help rejected nuclear workers

Even with $12 billion federal program in helping sick nuclear-weapons workers, there are still tens of thousands sick nuclear workers were not able to have the compensation from the U.S. government leading an investigation. Because of the bureaucratic hurdles, many of the sick workers had to fight for their illness and the government in their final years. The Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program was launched in 2001. Under this program, 53,000 sickened or dead workers got compensated but the money went to surviving relatives in many cases. On the other hand, 7,762 workers did not get any compensation even

Fukushima Radiation Continues Spread

Four years after the meltdown at Fukushima Daiichi, tests of hundreds of water samples from the Pacific Ocean have revealed that the nuclear power plant continues to leak radioactive isotopes from the accident. However, the levels are still too low to harm human or ocean life, according to scientists. “Despite the fact that the levels of contamination off our shores remain well below government-established safety limits for human health or to marine life, the changing values underscore the need to more closely monitor contamination levels across the Pacific,” cautions Ken Buesseler, marine radiochemist with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.
