7 Years Later, Sailors Exposed to Fukushima Radiation Seek Their Day in Court

NEW YORK CITY (March 9, 2018) As a result of radiation exposure due to a massive earthquake and tsunami that struck northern Japan in 2011, U.S. military personnel are sick and dying, and want the nuclear plant’s designers and owners to take responsibility.
