The entire ship is full of toxic chemicals and cursed by the name of one of Satan's minions.

The scientific thing to do is look at the health of crew in it's sister ships who served similar times and duties away from Fukushima.
For all we know, these rates of illness are normal for carrier crews.
The reality of life is that it is a statistical process and we tend to ignore the familiar things that are always trying to kill us, things like paint fumes, unhealthy food, jet fuel, jet exhaust, hydraulic fluid, and all the other crap that one might be exposed to on an aircraft carrier.
My father-in-law was used as a guinea pig in nuclear weapons testing. He got to witness an above-ground nuclear test up close and they marched around in the mess while things were still burning with the mushroom cloud looming above. Afterwards they scrubbed and showered off all the radioactive dust they could detect. Some of those men died prematurely, their exposure to the fallout a major factor. Others, like my father-in-law are still healthy in their eighties.
I'm not defending nuclear power, I just don't believe the legal system is well equipped to deal with issues like this.
Personally I'm some kind of Luddite. The modern high energy industrial technology I find most loathsome is automobiles. Somehow most people are able to ignore the horrors and havoc automobiles cause. The accident at Fukishima is a much smaller horror than the daily carnage and environmental catastrophes caused by automobiles.
