Michael D. Proctor, Buder M. Shageer and Matthew T. Davis

In a post-Fukushima world, defense nuclear disaster planners must recognize and be ready for urgent requests for military support to mitigate the impacts of a civilian nuclearpower plant disaster. At both Chernobyl and Fukushima nuclear power plants, explosions, leakage, and paramount concerns of the spread of radiation around the world lead to urgent requests for local and international military support to disaster mitigation efforts.
