Hundreds of thousands. But 18 children in Fukushima Prefecture have been diagnosed in a population of 2 million. A panel is examining the impact of radiation on residents. Health professionals are giving checkups to all 360,000 children aged 18 or younger at the time of the accident at fukushima daiichi. Radioactive substances released in the accident can accumulate in childrens thyroid glands, possibly increasing their risk of developing cancer. Health professionals had tested 210,000 children by the end of july. On top of the 18 minors they diagnosed, they suspect 25 others may have the illness. Members of the panel say they cant determine if the accident has affected the rate of cancer among children. They decided to set up a team of experts to look into the situation. Workers at the Nuclear Plant have their hands full as they try to stop the flow of radioactive water. The operators say they will do more to monitor and control leaks from storage tanks.

A panelist examining the impact of radiation on residents. Health professionals are giving checkups to all 360,000 children aged 18 or younger at the time of the accident at fukushima daiichi.

They decided to set up a team of experts to look into the situation. Workers at the Nuclear Plant have their hands full as they try to stop the flow of radioactive water. The operators say they will do more to monitor and control leaks from storage tanks. Officials say at least 300 tons of highly radioactive water has leaked from one tank. It is the worst spill from a tank they have seen since the accident in march 2011. The tanks are surrounding by a concrete barrier. The attached pipes were left open to let rain water drain away. Most of the water that leaked out is believed to have seeped underground. Th
