Japan's 'sacrificial' elderly nuclear cleanup squad

A group of more than 250 Japanese  retirees want to replace the younger workers cleaning up the toxic Fukushima nuclear plant, which is really dangerous. Just in this week, there were more than two workers in their 30s to 40s who died from the radiation. The Japanese government hasn't accepted the idea of the retirees who volunteer to do the clean up. These elderly volunteer said that they won't develop cancer in time to die from it. In my opinion It is good that they care about the younger people and about their future. Those retirees are so brave, and it also shows that they love their country so much that they are putting their life in danger just to save the country. I think the government should reconsider it again. Since those elderly people won't develop cancer in time to die from it, then why should the young people's life at risk? I think if I was an elderly retiree, I would do the same thing because I wouldn't have that much to worry about it, but for the young people, they still have a long way to go, and some of them may have a family to take care of.
