That's all that you need to do. I see.

Yeah, you're thinking of the different GPS location. That is the Russian thing. GLONASS, or I think it's called GLONASS. Anyway, that's all opened up in our GPS system. units now operate on GLONASS and on the US based system. But what I'm talking about is the Iridium satellite network satellite phones.

Almost all of them operate on the Iridium satellite network and governments use this, you know, for I mean, we would have satellite phones in Afghanistan when we were deployed, all that. So the Iridium network is pretty robust and I don't expect that it would be taken down because the people that would be taking it down are dependent upon it.

So I'm gambling that our secondary will be able to communicate on Iridium satellite. And you know, nothing is 100%. You could try to cover the greatest percentages you can and the best overlapping you can so that if something were to happen that you're not covered for, it's a very, very small percentage of possibility.

Radiation? Well, we had, that's a good question because I actually did two specials on Fukushima for Discovery Channel that were amazing. And I got to go to Fukushima, Daiichi and Daini and see where everything went down. And the amount of radiation that I got, I was wearing a rad meter the whole time and I could only get a certain amount of radiation before we had to shut down the filming.

But what's interesting is I got more radiation on both of my flights to and from Japan than than I did actually in Fukushima. So the radiation is something that we get a lot of radiation, as you're well aware, Dr. Drew. I mean, there's a lot of radiation that's not just going to come. I mean, there are supplements that we can take to keep the radioactive isotopes from binding to those receptors.

Potassium iodide? Exactly. But for most people, we already have enough in our system. So I'm not too worried about the long-term radiation. What I am worried about are, you know, what's going to happen, the other things that are happening if a radiological event were to occur. You know, that's going to be nuclear air bursts or, you know, something that I'm going to have priorities.

But, yes, that's a great question.
But, yes, that's a great question.
I'm no expert, but as I understand it, yes, you're correct. And like in Fukushima, you know, we did CBR, chemical, biological, radiological drills all the time in the SEAL teams. And that was the big thing is you got to clean. We had a whole, we had a man portable cleaning station that was set up where we clean our feet. All right.

We'd go through a whole procedure of stripping everything off and cleaning all the rads off of you. and then going on and getting someplace where there's a shelter. But in Fukushima, yeah, that's what happened. But then the radiation that was in the topsoil, you know, that's the long-term stuff that they have to deal with. It was in the topsoil.
