At 27:00 in
Charles Bonner, attorney representing sailors from the USS Ronald Reagan: Theyre not only going to the rescue by jumping into the water and rescuing people out of the water, but they were drinking desalinated sea water, bathing in it, until finally the captain of the USS Ronald Reagan alarmed people that they were encountering high levels of radiation. As a result of this exposure, the 51 sailors that we represent right now have come down with a host of medical problems, including cancers and leukemias, all kinds of gynecological problems (...) people who are going blind, pilots who had perfect eyesight but now have tumors on the brain. These service men and women are young people 21, 22, 23 years old and no one in their family had ever (inaudible) any of these kinds of illnesses before.
At 33:00
Bonner: These sailors had none of these kind of medical problems, now they have back pains, memory loss, severe anxiety. They have testicular cancer, they have thyroid cancers, they have leukemias, they have a host of problems, rectal and gynecological bleeding, a host of problems that they did not have before (...) And its only been 3 years since they went in. (...) The Japanese government is in a major conspiracy with Tepco to hide and conceal the true facts.
At 34:30 in
Bonner: Well be adding approximately 20 sailors, bringing the total number in the lawsuit to 70 to 75.
At 47:30 in
Bonner: 21 and 22 year-olds who are just beginning to start their lives, start their families, and many have little children and now theyre sick. They are going constantly to the doctors, their children are sick we even have small children as some of our plaintiffs, because they too have developed problems.

OP
Apparently the USS Ronald Reagan doesn't use distillation, it uses reverse osmosis
