As the editor of this article I apologize for for the oversight and I have amended the article accordingly.

When we originally reported on this story, we didn't do enough research but further investigation into the study conducted by Janette Sherman and Joseph Mangano shows that it lacks evidence to prove that 14,000 US deaths were caused by radiation from the Fukushima nuclear plant. We have adjusted this article accordingly. Thank you for your understanding. Everyone – we see your comments and we want to apologize for our oversight.

The Fukushima was indeed a very serious accident, but to say that it had ANY effect on the US is totally bogus. This article is 100 percent false. I am a nuclear engineer.

When making claims of this significance, it's important to have the publishing info obvious, otherwise it's easy to dismiss as exaggeration. Radiation.org does not cite the article either, although they also mention it. Did I miss something super obvious, or is the peer reviewed study mentioned and not cited?
