Bikini Atoll cleanup funded by U S government
The federal government will pay for a new radioactive cleanup of Bikini Atoll in the Pacific to allow the islanders to return home. Lawyer Jonathan Weisgall says the Justice Department funds the cleanup as part of a settlement of the Bikini suit in Honolulu, with damages suit still pending in Washington.
