Respected scientist Michio Kaku in an interview with KATA in Portland, OR.
“This is huge. For the first time, they’re using that dreaded word, ‘breach.’ “Plutonium is the most toxic chemical known to science. A speck of plutonium, a millionth of a gram, could cause cancer.”

A connection is irresponsibly suggested in that news report. 10000 fatalities are from the tsunami, not from the damage at Fukushima Dai-ichi.

Listen again, the newscasters said “the latest count of dead is 10,0000” without attributing cause.
