Radiological contamination in the Bay Area

"Fresh concerns raised about the cleanup of Hunters Point Shipyard"

"On Thursday, Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility, a Bay Area-based nonprofit, filed a complaint to the Navy’s Inspector General demanding an investigation of the Navy’s analysis of waste found at the site. PEER contends the Navy has consistently downplayed the risks posed by its findings and misled the public about potential harms.

The shipyard, a 900-acre Superfund site that once hosted a defense laboratory, has come under increasing scrutiny after the Navy reported that it found radioactive material on one of the parcels last October, with 10% of samples testing above EPA-approved screening levels. The material, Strontium-90, is a radioactive isotope that causes cancer and other health hazards."

What has happened at San Francisco's Shipyard with materials over the years is deserving of intense investigative reporting. This 4 part series, funded by USC, is trying to do that and you should follow it. 48hills.org/2023/03/the-tragic
