We learned several days ago that there was an increased level of radiation after the Russian equipment had plowed through Chernobyl—20 times the level of radiation. Granted that the closest reactor set is in western Ukraine, next to Poland, our closest NATO ally, and we may have troops there, what do we have in the way of hazmat—in particular, the CBRN that refers to nuclear—on hand for troops that we have deployed to that part of Europe? Do we have mitigation medicine like potassium iodide? Are they ready for being exposed to radiation? What provisions have we made for them?
