My City by the Bay

Plutonium, a radioactive metal named after the planet Pluto, was discovered in 1940 after uranium was bombarded with neutrons in a cyclotron. Plutonium 239, the end product of this cycle, as well as uranium, are among the few materials whose atoms can split (or “fission”) to create a nuclear explosion, releasing massive amounts of energy instantly.

The cyclotron, often called an atom smasher or plutonium breeder, appeared on the Hunters Point Shipyard after the arrival of the Naval Radiological Defense Laboratory (NRDL). NRDL was operational from 1946 until 1969 and used several buildings for radioactive laboratory and cyclotron operations.

Three decades after Hunters Point was vacated by NRDL, the Navy has transferred Parcel A to the city, and San Francisco is giving it away to Lennar to build 1,600 homes. This shouldn’t happen. Cyclotron activity was near Parcel A, and, although named after the planet Pluto, plutonium behaves like the god of hell.

Decades after the Navy abandoned the Shipyard, officials have not addressed the effects of low level radiation on humans. Some news agencies have ignored the fact that radiation ever existed on this Shipyard.

Hunters Point has been attacked. Until the complacency to address the implications of low level radiation is reversed, cancer rates will continue to soar. Should San Francisco’s leaders choose to ignore the effects of low level radiation coming from Hunters Point, they will be guilty of sentencing thousands of people to an early death.

Yes, but what do they care? Hunters Point is totally inhabited by African Americans.
