ECO-CRISIS: Seals being killed by Fukushima radiation

Scientists in Alaska are investigating whether seals are being killed by radiation from Japanâs crippled Fukushima nuclear plant.
Scores of ring seals have washed up on Alaskaâs arctic coastline since July either injured or killed by a mysterious disease which biologists first thought was a virus.
But the bleeding lesions on the hind flippers, irritated skin around the nose and eyes and patchy hair loss on the sealsâ fur coats may have been caused by radiation from the stricken nuclear plant. Three reactors at the nuclear plant went into meltdown following the catastrophic tsunami caused by an 9.0-magnitude earthquake off Japanâs north-east coast in March.
Now animals several thousands miles away in Barrow, Alaska, are washing up with injuries thought to have been caused by the fallout from the nuclear meltdown.

Scientists in Alaska are investigating whether local seals are being sickened by radiation from Japanâs crippled Fukushima nuclear plant.
Scores of ring seals have washed up on Alaskaâs Arctic coastline since July, suffering or killed by a mysterious disease marked by bleeding lesions on the hind flippers, irritated skin around the nose and eyes and patchy hair loss on the animalsâ fur coats.
Biologists at first thought the seals were suffering from a virus, but they have so far been unable to identify one, and tests are now underway to find out if radiation is a factor.
