A radioactive water leak halted the re-start of a nuclear power plant, no, not in northeastern Japan near the ongoing disaster known as Fukushima, but in southern Japan, at the Kansai Electric Power Company’s Takahama Nuclear Power Plant, in Fukui Prefecture.

At least 34 liters of contaminated cooling water leaked from the reactors.  Plant operators are investigating to find out why.

This latest leak is taking place at the same time that fishermen caught up in a 1954 U.S. nuclear weapons test are now demanding they be compensated for their cancers.

These are not the fishermen of the infamous Fukuryu Maru Number 5, who were compensated, but men on boats further away from the Castle Bravo nuclear blast.  They all suffer cancers now directly connected to exposure to radiation specifically created by nuclear weapons.
