Abstract

The author responds to an article published in the Journal by Joseph J. Mangano and Janette D. Sherman suggesting that a large increase in U.S. deaths soon after Japan's Fukushima nuclear plant accident could be caused by radiation released from this accident and arriving in the United States. This author attributes the increase to the authors' inclusion of a higher number of cities in their study before and after Fukushima (119 and 104 cities, respectively).
