Radioactive Waste 73 - Navy mishandled of Radioactive Contamination at Treasure Island 2
In 2006, the Treasure Island Naval Station Historical Radiological Assessment is commissioned by the Navy as part of its plan to turn over Treasure Island over to the city of San Francisco and developers. The report is later criticized for not providing an accurate accounting of radioactive contamination of Treasure Island. In mid-2007, workers cleaning up Treasure Island found pieces of radium-226 the size of poker chips.

Radioactive Waste 72 - Navy Mishandled of Radioactive Contamination at Treasure Island 1
In 1937, an artificial island called Treasure Island was built from fill and sand for the 1939-1940 Golden Gate International Exposition to celebrate the recently completed Golden Gate Bridge and the Oakland Bay Bridge. Treasure Island was purchased by the U.S. Navy during World War II for use as a naval training academy.
