Navy Testing San Francisco Area Homes For Radiation

Luke 21:7 “Teacher,” they asked, “when will all this happen? What sign will show us that these things are about to take place?” Luke 21:11 "There will be great earthquakes, and there will be famines and epidemics in many lands, and there will be terrifying things (that which strikes terror), and great miraculous signs in the heavens."

The land was declared safe for residential housing.  No threats to the public.

Now, the U.S. Navy is conducting house-to-house testing for radiation after an empty home on a former Naval base was found to contain radium.

The homes are located on a man-made island called “Treasure Island.”  The area once served as a U.S. Navy base and has been redevelopments under an agreement from the Department of Defense with San Francisco’s Treasure Island Development Authority.

The Navy cleaned up the base after closure in 1997.  The DoD then leased the homes to civilians that were once military housing.

The Navy had declared the residential area was free of any radiological contamination because the item containing radium was found in the empty home.  Now, residents are concerned not only for radiation beneath their homes but also in the groundwater supply.

“In the event a radiological survey of a housing unit reveals a health concern, the Navy will take immediate action to protect the residents,” the Navy said in a statement.
