美军航母里根号士兵起诉日本东电公司

福岛核电站事故后，赶到现场救援的美军航母里根号士兵受到了超过安全剂量三百倍以上的核辐射。

两年多时间过去了，已经有七十多位士兵发病，包括甲状腺癌、白血病、脑瘤、睾丸癌和其他疾病。目前他们已经正式提起诉讼，控告东京电力公司故意弱化事故后果，导致参与救援士兵遭受了过量辐射。

After U.S. Navy sailors on the USS Ronald Reagan responded to the 2011 Fukushima disaster in Japan for four days, many returned to the U.S. with thyroid cancer, Leukemia, brain tumors and more.

At least 71 sailors—many in their 20s—reported radiation sickness and will file a lawsuit against Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO), which operates the Fukushima Daiichi energy plant.

The men and women accuse TEPCO of downplaying the danger of nuclear radiation on the site. The water contaminated the ship’s supply, which led to crew members drinking, washing their bodies and brushing their teeth with contaminated water. Paul Garner, an attorney representing 51 sailors, said at least half of the 70-plus sailors have some form of cancer.

“We’re seeing leukemia, testicular cancer and unremitting gynecological bleeding requiring transfusions and other intervention,” Garner told New York Post.福岛核电站事故后，赶到现场救援的美军航母里根号士兵受到了超过安全剂量三百倍以上的核辐射。
