When asked about the U.S.S. Reagan's ability to detect radiation early, sailor Cooper stated "we have a multimillion-dollar radiation-detection system, but" it takes time to be set up and activated". She went on to describe that after being exposed, "we couldn't go anywhere. Japan didn't want us in port, Korea didn't want us, Guam turned us away. We floated in the water for two and a half months" until Thailand took the stricken sailors in.
Clearly, when dealing with the disasters inherent in the nuclear industry, fascist governments give priority to nationalist and political priorities over the needs of individuals -- even those who risk their lives serving their country. And this raises the question: is nuclear experimentation destroying humanity politically as well as biologically?
Nuclear experimentation is destructive on a level that supersedes our common understanding of time and space. The nuclear industry is risking the unriskable. Nuclear experimentation is political and it's fascism. I'm only left to wonder". did the institutions involved in nuclear experimentation design themselves according to the definition of fascism, or do they naturally fit the definition that perfectly?
