Since it has since been proven that the Japan reactors were indeed leaking high levels of radiation, I don't see why the sailors should have to prove anything - even that they are sick.

They were exposed to high levels that could be expected to cause illness and/or eventual cancer. All they need to prove is that they were assured that it was safe.
