Nuke victim aid falls short: U.N. envoy

A United Nations rights investigator says the government hasn't done enough to protect the health of residents and workers affected by the Fukushima nuclear accident.

Anand Grover, U.N. special rapporteur on the right to health, said Nov. 26 the government has adopted overly optimistic views of radiation risks and has conducted only limited health checks after the partial meltdowns at three of the reactors at the Fukushima No. 1 power plant.

Although he welcomed ongoing health checks of affected residents, Grover said they are too narrow in scope because they are only intended to cover Fukushima's 2 million people, and that only children are being given thyroid tests, even though the impact of radiation went far beyond Fukushima's borders.
