New Hunters Point Report Released (Report 3)

Published October 18, 2018

While it has been known for some time that the Navy’s contractor at Hunters Point had falsified radiation measurements there, a new report reveals that the cleanup levels themselves were also erroneous. They are grossly outdated, violate the Superfund law, and are far, far less protective than promised. Therefore both the measurements and the standards against which they were checked were wrong, in ways that seriously undercut public safety.

Report 3: Hunters Point Shipyard Cleanup Used Outdated and Grossly Non-Protective Cleanup Standards

Earlier Reports:

Report 1: Hunters Point Naval Shipyard: The Nuclear Arms Race Comes Home

Report 2: The Great Majority of Hunters Point Sites Were Never Sampled for Radioactive Contamination — And the Testing That Was Performed Was Deeply Flawed
