[...] Garner said he was originally approached by [U.S. Navy sailor Lindsay] Cooper, who was reluctant to follow through with a suit. He then talked to others from the Reagan and found many suffered problems, including one sailor who already has cancer. Garner has linked up with an environmental toxicologist for a study to see how widespread the issues are. [...] “No amount of money would compensate me if I’m 23 years old and I’m bleeding from my [behind] or have thyroid problems,” he said. [...] [link to www.stripes.com] [link to enenews.com] |

BROAD Published: March 13, 2011 The Pentagon was expected to announce that the aircraft carrier Ronald Reagan, which is sailing in the Pacific, passed through a radioactive cloud from stricken nuclear reactors in Japan, causing crew members on deck to receive a month’s worth of radiation in about an hour, government officials said Sunday. The officials added that American helicopters flying missions about 60 miles north of the damaged reactors became coated with particulate radiation that had to be washed off.

The Defense Department said the Navy started giving anti-radiation pills to some of those exposed, and Americans on two military bases south of Tokyo were advised to stay indoors as much as possible. Meanwhile, U.S. aviation and energy officials also worked with Japanese counterparts on the nuclear developments. [...] Sensitive air monitoring equipment on the aircraft carrier USS George Washington detected low levels of radioactivity from the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant as the carrier sat pier-side at Yokosuka, Cmdr. Jeff Davis, a spokesman for the U.S. 7th Fleet, said Tuesday. While he said there was no danger to the public, the commander recommended military personnel and their families at Yokosuka and Naval Air Facility Atsugi limit their outdoor activities and seal ventilation systems at their homes as much as possible. The Navy said Monday that radiation was detected by another carrier, the USS Ronald Reagan, and that 17 helicopter crew members had to be decontaminated after returning to the Reagan from search and rescue duty. The Navy said more crews were exposed to very low levels of radiation Tuesday and had to be decontaminated. [...] [link to www.nationalguard.com] |

[link to DON'T_USE-THIS] Jobs are compartmentalized at sea explained Navy Quartermasters Maurice Enis and Jaime Plym, two of the navigators on the carrier Reagan. Few of those on board knew there were dangerous radioactive plumes blowing in the wind and none knew what ocean currents might be contaminated. They did know there were problems when alarms went off. “We make our own water through desalinization plants on board,” said Plym, a 28-year-old from St. Augustine, Florida. “But it comes from the ocean and the ocean was contaminated. So we had to get rid of all the water on the ship and keep scouring it and testing it till it was clean. “You have a nuclear power plant inside the ship that uses water for cooling, and they didn’t want to contaminate our reactor with their reactors’ radiation.” [link to www.newjerseynewsroom.com] |

Look at all the plants they constructed over fault lines here. It's amazing. yes it's a desperate situation: they can't afford to build the new ones and they can't afford to decommission and dismantle the old ones. You're exactly right. I hope you don't take anything I was writing as being sarcastic. I'm one of those nerds who thinks that the money, time and energy we spend on "dirty" energy could be better spent on doing using the same said resources on developing "clean" energy. well i'm sure we would. but the only thing that can produce the quintillion megawatts of electricity we need is nuclear (which is as bad a oil and coal) We, the little people... don't need massive amounts of power. Industrial and commercial uses most of it. |

Over 150 U.S. service members say Fukushima radiation has triggered medical issues — Now Defense Department abandons medical registry, leaving them on own [link to enenews.com] [snip] The decision to cease updating the registry means there will be no way to determine if patterns of health problems emerge among the members of the Marines, Army, Air Force, Corps of Engineers, and Navy stationed at 63 installations in Japan with their families.

It was absolutely crazy, crazy circumstance. The nuclear guys just kind of went nuts and deep sunk this thing into a barrel of water and other chemicals and put a huge barrier around it, you know ‘police line do not cross’. Radiation actually feeds itself, and you get radiation that high it becomes its own source of power and energy. It won’t go away, storing in containers is not going to do anything. It will actually feed, it will grow, and so every day readings around the area have to be taken — at this point 5 feet from that barrel we’re reading 750 CCPM, you just have to continue to monitor that.

Though it's not a participant in the suit, in a 2014 report to Congress the DOD said it calculated doses for all sailors of the 7th Fleet and they were, "well below Federal regulatory limits," and that it believes it is, "implausible that these low-level doses are the cause of the health effects," to sailors. In a statement to KOMO 4 News, TEPCO referred us to the conclusions of the DOD report, adding it appreciates, "the service of all the men and women of the United States military who provided the Japanese people with humanitarian and disaster relief." In Part Two of this report we take a deeper look at what measures the Navy took to reduce radiation exposure as well as allegations that even after Operation Tomodachi ended, 7th Fleet sailors continued to be exposed to damaging radiation.
