USS John F. Kennedy CVA67 Plank owner GMT2. 1st time on site...interested to here from any shipemates.
GMTCS Keith Speegle passed away a few years back and he was asking me how I got 10% VA rating for ionizing radiation because he had gotten skin cancer. My case was different from what he was exposed to and I always wondered if the B33 had anything to do with his case. I inhaled a good amount of tritium gas from a B57 leaker. Keith was in the bay but no way around the weapon like I was. I stood right on top while disconnecting J101 & J102. Gary Lee was with me but we lost contact with him years ago while Keith was my brother-in-Law.
Anyone having any health problems associated with handling trainers (B33) or war reserve components such as heavy metal contamination?
