This study tracks cancer and mortality trends in nuclear emergency responders and has no connection to gardening, botany, or plant science.
This article is about human health outcomes for people who worked to contain the Fukushima nuclear disaster, not about plants. Researchers found their overall death rate was lower than the general population, likely because emergency workers tend to be healthier than average, but cancer deaths ticked up slightly in later years. There's nothing here relevant to gardening or plant enthusiasts.
Key Findings
19,358 male emergency workers tracked from 2012-2021 with 708 deaths recorded
Overall mortality was lower than the general Japanese male population (SMR 0.86)
Solid cancer and leukemia mortality rates rose above expected levels during 2018-2021

This isn't plant science at all — it's a human health study on Fukushima nuclear cleanup workers' mortality rates over a decade. There's no plant content to summarize.
