157 Navy Sailors: Power Plant Liable For Deaths, Injuries Resulting From Meltdown

SAN DIEGO - A group of 157 U.S. Navy sailors on Aug. 18 filed a lawsuit in California federal court against the Tokyo Electric Power Co., alleging that they have suffered injuries from radiation exposure related to their relief efforts in response to the meltdown of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (FNPP). The plaintiffs argue that their claims should be joined with an existing case that asserts the same causes of action (Dustin Bartel, et al. v. Tokyo Electric Power Company Inc., et al., No. 17CV1671DMSKSC, S.D. Calif.).
