Hunters Point Worker Says Supervisors Instructed Him to Get Rid of Soil Contaminated with Radiation

Former radiation control technician Anthony Smith collected soil samples on Hunters Point, including underneath a building referred to as Building 351A. The building used to house the Naval Radiological Defense Laboratory. The soil underneath the building had been cleaned up, but Smith says he discovered a soil sample contaminated with radiation even after the building had been remediated. He says his supervisors told him to get rid of the contaminated soil sample and replace it with a clean soil sample from another location. He says it was faster and cheaper for his supervisors to say the soil was clean instead of contaminated.
