Their numbers have grown!
Gee whiz, how much dose did they get?
"To provide a radiological dose perspective, when USS Ronald Reagan sailed through a plume of radioactivity from the Fukushima nuclear power plant during disaster relief operations, the maximum potential radiation dose received by any ship’s force personnel ... was less than the radiation exposure received from about one month of exposure to natural background radiation from sources such as rocks, soil, and the sun.”
That's about 30 mrem (0.3 mSv)!
He got more radiation! HA!
"The diagnosis, he said, was a genetic immune system disease, which on X-rays looked to have made his hip joint jagged and his spine arthritic."
Oh....but this isn't funny:
"The scientific community is divided on the effects of low-level radiation."
No, it isn't. The professor they quoted (either Kamura Shinzo or Shinzo Kamuro, I'm confused) isn't divided from the WHO (based on that last link).
The scientific community will be teaching these sailors a few things if this actually goes to court.
Music please, Maestro:
