8 U.S. sailors sue Japanese gov't, TEPCO for lying about radiation
SAN DIEGO —
Eight crew members of the USS Ronald Reagan are suing the Japanese
government and Tokyo Electric Power Co (TEPCO) for lying to them about
the radiation levels to which they were exposed during rescue operations
near the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant last year.In a suit filed in San Diego this week, lead plaintiff Lindsay R Cooper accused TEPCO of intentionally concealing the dangerous levels of radiation in the environment from U.S. Navy rescue crews working as part of “Operation Tomodachi” off the coast of the Tohoku region following the devastating series of earthquakes and tsunami that resulted in the nuclear disaster of March 11, 2011.

US Navy sailors sue Japan for lying about Fukushima radiation
American sailors have filed a lawsuit against the Japanese government
for allegedly lying about the health risks they faced while assisting
in rescue efforts after last year’s Fukushima nuclear disaster.
Crewmembers from the USS Ronald Reagan filed a lawsuit in Federal Court in San Diego, California this week in an attempt to hold Japan accountable for any long-term damage they’ll caused during “Operation Tomadachi,” the spring 2011 relief effort that sent sailors near the coast of Japan to assist in the days after an earthquake and subsequent tsunami ravaged the island nation and caused a level 7 meltdown at three reactors in the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant.
