Japan admits 1st death from 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster
Japan has acknowledged for the first time that a worker died from radiation exposure at the tsunami-hit Fukushima nuclear power plant. A 9.0-magnitude earthquake in March 2011 triggered a tsunami that killed about 18,000 people and led to the world's worst nuclear disaster since Chernobyl in 1986. The worker had died of lung cancer, diagnosed in February 2016, officials said.
