US sailors and military personnel
are suffering serious health effects as a result of exposure to
radioactive fallout during relief efforts in the immediate aftermath of
the Fukushima nuclear disaster. Can they sue the nuclear plant's
Japanese operator, TEPCO, in an American jurisdiction for withholding
accurate radiation data from US military authorities that might have
prevented their exposure?
That's the case being brought by a growing list of plaintiffs and their attorneys in a San Diego court. The sailors and marines were exposed to radioactive fallout for many days during Navy relief efforts led by the San Diego-based nuclear-powered supercarrier USS Ronald Reagan in the 3/11 triple nuclear meltdown at Fukuhima, Japan following a devastating earthquake and tsunami.
In this video, plaintiffs Lindsay Cooper and Mathew Bradley, together with their attorneys Charles Bonner, Paul Garner and Cabral Bonner report their experiences and lay out their case.
The judge has given them until January 6, 2014 to file a revised version of their complaint.
