Scientists in Alaska are investigating
whether seals are being killed by radiation from Japan's crippled
Fukushima nuclear plant.
Scores
of ring seals have washed up on Alaska's 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 seals' fur coats may have been
caused by radiation from the stricken nuclear plant.
