Marine nuclear response team wraps up supportDate Posted: 2011-04-29 Some 150 troops from the Chemical Biological Incident Response Force were deployed to Japan earlier this month in order to respond to the accident at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant in northeastern Japan. The CBIRF team had been training for decontamination and radiation-monitoring work jointly with Japanese Self-Defense Forces troops at the U.S. Yokota Air Base in western Tokyo. Defense Minister Toshimi Kitazawa had said at a press conference earlier that the CBIRF team would return home once prospects for the crisis improved, because they are an important force for the United States. |
