Sources and Notes

  • AIPRI BLOG, Association Internationale pour la Protection contre les Rayons Ionisants. L'AIPRI a pour but la divulgation scientifique dans le domaine de la physique nuclà ©aire et des dangers radiologiques de la contamination interne.
  • "TEPCO announces it will take 6-9 months to end nuclear crisis,"   Sunday 17th April, 08:10 PM JST, JapanToday.
  • "Fukushima -- 10,000 terabecquerels/h on March 11,"   Kyodo News :: The Nuclear Safety Commission of Japan released, News 3.0 Media Lab, April 11, 2011.
  • [3] "Chernobyl the Reactors." These are the responsibilities of power. Bombing the Reactors calls for aircraft. The aircraft must have a base or bases. The US is the only Super Power in the world today. The other "used-to-be" Super Power, the former USSR doesn't even exist anymore. Japan consists of a number of islands, the largest of which is Honshu, with Tokyo, 103 million people and the Fukushima Daiichi reactors. The nearest large land mass is Asia, dominated by China. The aircraft base is likely to be controlled by the US, China or Japan, a US ally.
  • If no other nearby land base is available for whatever reason, whether political, logistical, the weather, or whatever, that leaves the giant Super Carriers to do the job that must be done. The first response of an approaching US Super Carrier was to turn tail and run when confronted by the heavily radioactive wind from Fukushima, Japan. That kind of "leadership" is disgusting. The Carrier was the 1,092 ft, 333 Mt long USS Ronald Reagan, CVN 76, estimated cost, US$4.3 Billion. The Super Carriers must be written off, if need be, to do the job.
  • After all, it is only money and lives. If the US Government loses a few Super Carriers to radioactive contamination, So What? That's War. The Human Race is worth it. Besides, I'm sure, if we come out of this nuclear "challenge" alive  the boys, and gals, at Newport News Ship Builders will be more than happy to make the US Government a "deal" on Super Carriers all funded by an obliging and grateful Congress.
  • The American President, the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the US Navy's Eleven Aircraft Carrier battle groups have a job to do and only they can do it. Suit up and get on it. -- Bob Nichols
