Despite Contamination, Navy Copters Keep Aiding Japan

Despite Contamination, Navy Copters Keep Aiding Japan - As the world braced for a possible core meltdown in Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, the U.S. Navy kept its helicopters flying to provide earthquake and tsunami relief. The Navy’s Pacific-based Seventh Fleet announced on its Facebook page that the aircraft carrier in position, the U.S.S. Ronald Reagan, had been moved slightly away from the Fukushima Daiichi plant after finding 'low level' radioactive contamination “in the air and on its aircraft operating in the area.” But the Navy said that operations to provide disaster relief had already resumed north of Sendai.
