Statement: The Navy's Historical Radiological Assessment (HRA) covers 64 years of radiological history from 1939 to 2003 at the former Hunters Point Naval Shipyard (HPNS) and is based on expert analysis by the Navy of thousands of historical records and over 150 interviews with people who worked at HPNS. The HRA was prepared by the Navy and was reviewed with applicable State and Federal regulators, including the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, California Department of Public Health, California Department of Toxic Substances and Control, San Francisco Department of Public Health, and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Recent reports from outside groups on the quality of the HRA do not provide any new factual evidence to challenge the conclusions of the HRA. 

The Navy has full confidence in the HRA for Hunters Point as being an accurate and reliable evaluation of impacted radiological sites that have been or are slated for cleanup to ensure the property is suitable for transfer to the City of San Francisco and protective of public health. 

Details about the radiological cleanup of HPNS, including the HRA, are available at: bracpmo.navy.mil/hpnsrc.
