ビキニ被ばく船員訴訟 船員保険適用訴訟 / 高知地裁
被告の全国健康保険協会は、軍事機密を前提とする実態とかけ離れた米側資料等に基づく専門家の意見を理由に実態も調べないまま、船員保険の認定を否定しました。訴訟でも、原告側の主張に対して、根拠がないと主張しています。これに対し、今回は、被告側が、病気との因果関係に関わる厚労省研究班報告書をもとに作成した第7準備書面を提出します。

Bikini Nuclear Exposure Lawsuit – Seamen’s Insurance Eligibility Case / Kochi District Court
The defendant, the Japan Health Insurance Association, denied the plaintiffs’ eligibility for seamen’s insurance without conducting any factual investigation, citing expert opinions based on U.S. materials that are disconnected from reality and premised on military secrecy. In court, the defendant also continues to claim that the plaintiffs’ arguments lack sufficient basis.
In this hearing, the defendant will submit their 7th preparatory brief, which is based on a report by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare’s research team concerning the causal relationship between illnesses and radiation exposure. The plaintiffs will submit the second collection of signatures for the petition demanding a fair judgment.
