Fukushima And The Navy: Sailors Sue Japan Nuclear Plant Owner, Saying Disaster Made Them Sick

See, the real problem with Fukushima is this. The meltdown continues, it just isn't covered by the press. The disaster at Fukushima is far more significant than the event in Chernobyl, and while Chernobyl has been encased in a concrete sarcophagus for decades (Which the Russians intend on replacing) the meltdown in Japan has been open to the air, and ocean water since the event began. Seals are appearing in Alaska with lesions. Tuna off the west coast of the United States are showing signs of radiation in them that links their contamination to Fukushima. The reason these US sailors are barred from suing for their exposure is likely because the US Government wanted their exposure hushed up as much as possible. Unfortunately: Internet.



This wouldn't be the first time the United States Government stepped in and prevented US Military personnel from suing the Japanese for damages, the survivors of the Bataan Death March in WWII who found themselves working in Japan as slave labor prior to the end of the war were likewise barred by the US Government for suing for damages.
