The lawsuits were filed by one ambulance chasing attorney.
Why not read through this.

"Radiation-induced cancer is not immediate. On average it will take ten to twenty years or more before cancer develops as a result of radiation exposure. Of course, that is an average of a range, so it is possible that some cancers may develop sooner. However, in a population exposed to high doses of radiation, one would not expect to see a noticeable increase in cancer for a period of at least a few years."
"An examination of the Claims Made By the Sailors:
The area where the USS Ronald Reagan was located did not have radiation levels sufficient to cause any health concerns. The levels did rise, briefly, but were generally only slightly above normal background levels. One might claim that the instrument data from the US navy and TEPCO could have been falsified, but that does not change the fact that the ship was more than one hundred miles from the incident reactor and, given the levels released, it would not be expected to be dangerously high.
None of the symptoms described seem to indicate radiation exposure. Two years after the incident, one would not expect to see cancer develop, and, indeed, there has not been an overall increase in cancer rates. Other symptoms cited include chronic bronchitis, thyroid imbalances, chronic vaginal or anal bleeding, lymphatic problems. Few of these are known to be associated with radiation exposure, especially at the levels the USS Regan crew would have been exposed to."
