I am sorry for your loss, Linda.

The term "radiation" can mean many things and doesn't necessarily mean
"nuclear radiation". High power radar antennas emit radiation and are a
recognized hazard to human health if you spend any time in close proximity
to them. These antennas often have RADHAZ (radiation hazard) warnings
posted near them warning people that it is not healthy to be too close to
them. Although I am not sure if a warship would have these warnings. I am
sure that the USS Long Beach has a few of these antennas. Perhaps your
husband was an electronics technician and worked on this equipment?
