BREMERTON, Wash. (AP) — Thirteen radiological technicians from the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard have volunteered to help monitor radiation in Japan.
The Kitsap Sun reports the last member of the team departed Wednesday.
The Navy says they’ll work from ships or bases to help the government of Japan and citizens.
About 700 Puget Sound Naval Shipyard workers are already based at the Yokosuka Naval Base where they maintain the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier George Washington.
