Okay. I'm not sure how I missed the updates/reports other than the fact that they appear not to have been posted here at FR.

Principal source link is the PDF report to Congress in regards to a prior post here:
("Final Report to the Congressional Defense Committees in Response to the Joint Explanatory Statement Accompanying the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2014, page 90, “Radiation Exposure” ").
(link will open/download the PDF)

An update on the USS Ronald Reagan crew lawsuit re their mysterious illnesses in the wake of Operation Tomodachi is here:
("USS Reagan Sailors’ Lawsuit Found ‘Lacking’ Nuclear Expert Questions Link Between Radiation Exposure and Health Woes")

A prior PDF report on radiation exposure to US military from last September is here:
("Radiation Dose Assessments for Fleet-Based Individuals in Operation Tomodachi")
(link will open/download the PDF)

A prior article that is likely to have been posted to FR (that I could not find) is linked for reference here:
("Contamination of USS Ronald Reagan During Fukushima Response Underreported")

Just an update on the situation re our affected sailors and how our government is responding. (I tried very hard to not mix up the links; I think they're good as tagged)

I almost put this in General/Chat, but I think it rates as News, particularly since I completely missed the updates and neither did I find them here searching on multiple keywords going back to Sept. '13.

I have comments; I will withhold for now...

Interesting post....

Interesting, indeed.

I expected a ‘bit’ more interest in the topic.

Eh. ‘Tis what it ‘tis...
