Let me know when you finish drinking your product water and I'll come over with a Geiger counter. I have to believe they have good radiation detection equipment on any ship built since the Truman administration. I wonder if the detection/monitoring system turns on when the Captain turns the key, or if it must be turned on when someone gives the order. If you goggle the following: radiation detection aboard u.s. navy ships you'll find plenty of "hits" regarding various U.S. ships and helicopters "irradiated" by the power plant problems in Japan. It's interesting that the Navy is so quick to say that the amount of radiation deposited on various crew members was only equal to a month's average or several month's average, and so forth. Officialdom, be it military, corporate or civilian, has a history of grossly understating the levels of pollutants to which the ordinary folks and workers are exposed. The United States denied for a long time the impact on civilians and its own troops of its chemical warfare programs conducted against the people of Vietnam. Earlier this week, as a contemporary example, "officials" in West Virginia said the water in the area near the chemical spill was "safe." The next day, yesterday, I believe, pregnant women were warned against using it. The time I spent in The Associated Press in West Virginia was an eye opener in terms of the efforts I saw being made by those "in charge" to hide the amounts of pollution of various kinds being inhaled by workers, their families and others. Forgot I wanted to add this URL from National Geo on the West Virginia chemical "problems" : http://news.nationalgeographic.com/n...al-spill-coal/ |
