Worker Exposed in Nuke Accident Dies

TOKYO (AP) -- A worker who was exposed to lethal doses of radiation in 
Japan's worst nuclear accident died late today, a hospital spokesman said.
Hisashi Ouchi, 35, had been in critical condition since the Sept. 30 
accident at a uranium-reprocessing plant. He died today, said Tokyo 
University Hospital spokesman Hisao Yanagisawa.
Ouchi is the first fatality from radiation exposure caused by an accident at

a nuclear facility in Japan.
