[Bloomberg] Tepco Sued by U.S. Sailors Exposed to Radiation

The sailors aboard the USS Ronald Reagan nuclear-powered aircraft carrier were involved in disaster relief operations following the March 11, 2011 earthquake and tsunami in northeastern Japan that caused the meltdown, according to the complaint filed in U.S. federal court in San Diego on Dec. 21.
Tepco, as the Japanese utility is known, and the Japanese government conspired to create the false impression radiation leaking from the Fukushima Dai-Ichi plant didn’t pose a threat to the sailors, according to the complaint. As a result the plaintiffs rushed into areas that were unsafe and too close to the power plant, exposing them to radiation, the sailors’ lawyers said.
・・・
The sailors each sought $10 million in damages, $30 million in punitive damages and a judgment requiring the creation of a $100 million fund to pay for their medical monitoring and treatments.

“We can’t comment as we have not received the complaint document yet,” Yusuke Kunikage, a Tepco spokesman, said by phone today. “We will consider a response after examining the claim.”
・・・
The case is Lindsay R. Cooper against Tokyo Electric Power Co. 12-cv-3032. U.S. District Court, Southern District of California (San Diego).

[Bloomberg] Tepco attaqué en justice par des marins américains exposés à la radioactivité

<Citation> [Bloomberg]

Par  Joe Schneider – 27 décembre 2012 à 10:24 AM GMT+0200
・・・
Les marins du porte-avion nucléaire USS Ronald Reagan sont intervenus dans les opérations de secours suivant le séisme et le tsunami du 11 mars 21011 au nord-est du Japon et ayant provoqué les fusions de réacteurs, selon la plainte déposée à la cour fédérale américaine de San Diego le 21 décembre.
Tepco, connue pour être l’exploitant de la centrale, et le gouvernement japonais ont conspiré pour donner la fausse impression que les fuites radioactives de la centrale nucléaire de Fukushima Dai-Ichi ne menaçaient pas les marins, selon la plainte. En conséquence, les plaignants se sont rués dans des zones qui n’étaient pas saines et trop près de la centrale nucléaire, s’exposant ainsi à la radioactivité, déclarent les avocats des marins.
・・・
Les marins demandent chacun 10 millions de dollars d’indemnisation, 30 millions de dollars de dommages et intérêts et un jugement exigeant la création d’un fond de 100 millions de dollars pour payer les examens médicaux et les traitements.

“Nous ne pouvons pas faire de commentaire car nous n’avons pas encore reçu le document de la plainte”, a déclaré aujourd’hui par téléphone M. Yusuke Kunikage, un porte-parole de Tepco. “Nous envisagerons une réponse lorsque nous aurons reçu la plainte.”
・・・
L’affaire est référencée sous le nom Lindsay R. Cooper contre Tokyo Electric Power Co. 12-cv-3032. U.S. District Court, Southern District of California (San Diego).

    i bought a car. once. from my dead fathers money.
    i knew how to drive a car before.
    i was stuck in a place where all lazy feet were stuck.
    i checked my money and decided to buy a motorcycle.
    i learned to drive a car before, but a motorcycle was all that i could afford.
    i was scared, clutch and hold the engine on my own two feet from falling over. thank you friend.
    now i know. cars are for stupid people that don’t walk, are lazy, don’t carry weight and rely on someone to “nuclear” power the lazy feet metro-bus-tram-undergound-bus-SYSTEM.
    don’t get stuck.
