Bodies found at Fukushima

The remains of the first two workers to die at the melting-down Japanese nuclear power station have been recovered and identified. The dozens of brave souls who are there now battling the disaster expect that they will eventually die from their radiation exposure as well. As for the general population, you can be sure that no one in power will ever admit that anyone else suffered adverse health effects from what's happened and continues to happen. Some will even be told the radiation is good for them. Heck, if they don't care that they're killing you, they're not going to worry about lying to you.

Meanwhile, here's an interesting story about an American sailor who did ultra-hazardous work at a nuclear accident in the 1950s in Canada. His name was Jimmy Carter.

Oh my goodness did the autopsy results come back already? I am sure glad you have insider information on what is happening so far away to help protect us from the evil energy providers. So it has been determined that they died from exposer to radiation? How terrible is that wow.
I am glad that the workers there have a choice if they go in there or not and they are not being forced by the government or the owners to go in there.

Finally an explanation why cater was the worst president ever, fried brain syndrome. But hey kids a testament to the safety of nukes. You can become president even if you are exposed to lethal radiation.
So this makes me wonder what is obummers excuse? He is worse than carter!

Worst president ever? I don't think so!!
This man helped broker peace..Ever heard of the Camp David Accords? And tryed to ween The U.S of fossil Fuels..........
Tell us what the Bush Boys Did?
Good Grief!!!!!!!

"[C]ater" is certainly not the worst president ever. That title belongs to Oama.

So it has been determined that they died from exposer to radiation?

No. They died in the tsunami. I didn't say they died from radiation.

But the dozens of workers who are about to die will.

Not necessarily. Here's an interview with a guy who was a "jumper" on the roof of the already-exploded Chernobyl-4 reactor, who is still alive: http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/04/03/us-japan-chernobyl-jumper-idUSTRE73206D20110403

Are the odds severely stacked against them? Yes. Is this a horrible thing unfolding in front of us? Absolutely. Are they guaranteed to die? Not necessarily, depending on the complete randomness of the absorption, and how their bodies deal with the cellular decay.

I hope every worker trying to clean up this mess survives, because they are heroes trying to save a large portion of their country, and a nice-sized chunk of the Pacific Ocean.
