Japan Nuclear Crisis: Skilled Veterans Corps Work at Fukushima! Older Generation Volunteering to Tackle Nuclear Crisis!

Now this man, Yasuteru Yamada, and all the people who also are putting their hands together in volenteering to help the nuclear crisis in Fukushima get my highest of respects! Long story short, a group of more older generations of people in Japan are volunteering to take on the nuclear crissis over in Fukushima since they beleive that they should take it on and not the young.

The volunteers — all over 60 years old — are lobbying the government to be allowed to replace some of the younger employees at the power station. “I am 72 and on average I probably have 13 to 15 years left to live,” says 72-year-old Yasuteru Yamada, a former engineer. “Even if I were exposed to radiation, cancer could take 20 or 30 years or longer to develop. Therefore us older ones have less chance of getting cancer.”
