Today's "Today" paper highlighted that a nuclear-powered sub from the US docked at Changi Naval Base for 5 days in 2005. The amounts were said to be trace amounts and has caused no threat to humans or the environment. Our government says that the radioactive readings during the sub's stay in Singapore registered "within the safety limits".
In a Reuters report of concerns raised in Japan of the same sub, Lieutenant Commander David Benham, spokesman for Commander Submarine Forces, Pacific in Pearl Harbor, said that "We're talking about an extremely minute amount of radiation...it's about half as much radiation as you would find in a 50 pound bag of fertiliser."
I'm jus wondering about the people who are working in the sub.
