Japan Issues Workers Compensation To Fukushima Nuclear Plant Employee

On March 11, 2011, Japan suffered a major loss in nuclear energy because of the 9.0 magnitude earthquake and tsunami that hit the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. On April 20, 2011, Japanese authorities declared the 3.5 square kilometre plant as a restricted area, initiating a 20 km no-go evacuation zone where entry to the site can only be done while under government supervision. By April 20, all four nuclear units were decommissioned. Japan then dispatched 40,000 men assigned as clean-up crew to remove spent nuclear fuel and debris at the Fukushima Plant in 2014. A number of these men now have cancer.
