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. John, you're kidding of course. This is a nuclear powered aircraft carrier. It is monitored constantly. BTW, I was just reading about the precautions taken in the design and operation of nuclear powered Navy ships and submarines due to the close proximity of living next to a nuclear reactor for extended periods of time. The precautions in design are orders of magnitude greater than that required for a civilian nuclear power plant and the crew on a nuclear powered naval vessel is actually exposed to *less* radiation on a daily basis than you and I are exposed to from natural sources. The hull of the ship itself is a barrier to external radiation exposure. |
