 In the 1950s, the Navy decontaminated ships that had been used in nuclear arms testing in the South Pacific at the shipyard. Without knowing the full extent of the dangers of radiation, the ships contaminated parts of the shipyard with radioactive waste that impacted the surrounding area. Steve Castleman says the area is slated to become a luxury housing development. Developers intend to build a whole new city out there with more than 10,000 apartments.
