made by TEPCO … <strong>the</strong> U.S. Navy was lulled into a false sense<br />

<strong>of</strong> security,” <strong>the</strong> complaint states.<br />

In <strong>the</strong> lawsuit, <strong>the</strong> plaintiffs express <strong>the</strong> same worries and concerns<br />

that many felt regarding <strong>the</strong> Japanese authorities, that <strong>the</strong>y were not being<br />

honest about <strong>the</strong> risks:<br />

The plaintiffs claim <strong>the</strong> government deliberately misled<br />

<strong>the</strong>m: “<strong>the</strong> Japanese government kept representing that <strong>the</strong>re was<br />

no danger <strong>of</strong> radiation contamination to <strong>the</strong> U.S.S. Reagan …<br />

and/or its crew, that ‘everything is under control,’ ‘all is OK, you<br />

can trust us,’ and <strong>the</strong>re is ‘no immediate danger’ or threat to<br />

human life, all <strong>the</strong> while lying through <strong>the</strong>ir teeth about <strong>the</strong><br />

reactor meltdowns at FNPP.<br />

This is a situation that we’ll be keeping a close eye on. Unfortunately,<br />

<strong>the</strong> fallout (no pun intended) from Fukushima radiation is very wide,<br />

affecting many people who were exposed directly on <strong>the</strong> Japanese<br />

mainland or nearby (as in this case) or through broad contamination <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

food chain. Ultimately, history’s final verdict on <strong>the</strong> full extent <strong>of</strong><br />

Fukushima’s damage may be rendered in a court <strong>of</strong> law.<br />
