The continuing epidemic of disease and illness at the San Francisco Hunters Point shipyard of residents and workers is examined in an interview with Dr. Ahimsa Sumchai of the Hunters Point Community Biomonitoring Program.

She discusses the history of the former US Naval Shipyard which was a national center of radiation testing of animals and human beings after the 2nd world war.

The highly radioactive dump site was transferred to the City and County of San Francisco for the development of condos by the Lennar corporation which is the largest homebuilder in the United States.

She also discusses the contamination of CCSF police and UCSF AFSCME 3299 workers at building sites right next to the highly radioactive contaminated area.

UCSF officials are now denying that workers at the site were sickened by the contamination in the buildings that they worked at despite the overwhelming evidence.
