the longer lived stuff is particulates, no?

By now, even the gaseous radionuclides have found a partner and are in the large body of liquid of the Pacific, or the solid critters residing therein.

. As for the ship, a simple counter measure wash down and deck scrubbing would be sufficient to rid of any contamination on the ship, and their staff is plenty for that O.o

And any that came in the gaseous route, they have thousands of those portable air filtering units in the blue camo outfits.

As radcon goes....stick to ops

When will ever get these nubs to use "search buttons"   

Currently, spent nuclear fuel remains in temporary storage at nuclear power plants around the country. If the nuclear waste repository at Yucca Mountain opens, it will provide permanent disposal for spent nuclear fuel and other high-level radioactive wastes. Wherever spent nuclear fuel is stored, the short-lived iodine-131 it contains will decay away quickly and completely. However, the long-lived iodine-129 will remain for millions of years. Keeping it from leaking into the environment, requires carefully designed, long-term safeguards.

   Thank you very much for the post, I did tear up a bit. I lived in Japan as a young boy, I went through Jr High and my freshman year of High School there and have always had fond memories of Japan and the Japanese people I met there.
