Hunters Point Shipyard has a legacy of ground contamination by particulate radiation. While the politicians are arguing who is responsible for the cleanup, wether the previous cleanup was done correctly or not, and what should be done about it, epidemiologists have a role to play to provide the local community and the larger Bay Area community with solid data to develop evidence-based solutions. UCSF and UC Berkeley are already working together to analyze the quality of procedures which were used to test for radiation contamination.

Background
Phase II, new thoughts. The strengths of platform studies, exemplified by the STAMPEDE trial, are (1) the presence of a vision at the outset of a long-term research agenda that has the capacity to adapt during its conduct, and (2) a breadth of research questions that could be addressed by a cohesive research group working together to achieve a broad goal.
