Japan: Atomic Reactor to be Suspended while Carrier docks at Yokosuka
The U.S. Navy will suspend the operation of the atomic reactor of the first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier to base in Japan while it docks at a U.S. naval base in Yokosuka, south of Tokyo, sources at the U.S. Navy and the Japanese government said Wednesday. The aircraft [carrier], believed to be the George Washington, is to replace the Kitty Hawk when the aging conventionally powered carrier is decommissioned in 2008.Posted by: Pappy 2005-11-25 |
