If Hillary would have won the Dem. nomination, she would have lost if either McCain or Romney would have won. The resson, since 1988-2008, there has been a Bush or Clinton in the…
apecNetworks, my guess was that it was declassified once the Bureau of Naval Reactors has deemed that the amount of radiaton released was insignificant. They probably had it classified as "Secret: Releasable to Japan" before. What that means is that JMSDF personnel that monitor the visits of these types of…
As a former DCA, water will not become radioactive (it is the particles in the water that can become irradited). The proper technique to decontaminate objects is by massive washing and scrubbing, while ensuring that there is a method of containing the waste water. The washing will remove dust particles…
I saw the movie, and Indy was in a decontamination area getting checked out while being debriefed by the CIA.
I recently saw a show on the History Channel (JP version) on America's nuclear past, and they showed footage from one of those tests that occured in the 50's back…
Having worked for PACFLT (ADM Willard, he was the Tomcat pilot in Top Gun that did all of Tom Cruise's flights) I suspect that this was more of a political statement. True the CO is responsible for what goes on in his ship, but in this case, a lot was…

I would still rather drink water from Sasebo bay after a US SSN has been there than go to the nearest Japanese nuclear power plant and take a sip.
