Make a list
of the questions of interpretation that have come up as you’ve read about your
topic. That is, where are you finding arguments or questions about how to understand or
interpret what we know about the issue? Where are there important
considerations on more than one side of the issue? Where do you need to do work
to figure out how to make sense of what you know (rather than just having a
plain fact in front of you).
You can
write it as just a simple numbered list.

What government agencies have oversight of the Navy’s cleanup of Hunters Point?
ReplyDeleteWhat are the guidelines to determine when Hunters Point’s nuclear contamination has been remediated?
To what depth are contaminates removed from an area of land?
There is a landfill site near the main NDRL building that caught fire in 2000. There is a temporary cap on the landfill. No one really knows what’s in the landfill except some radioactive contaminated items and other miscellaneous items. The Navy wants to put a permanent cap over the landfill.
-What’s in the landfill?
-How safe is capping a toxic nuclear waste site?
-What happens to the cap if there is an earthquake?
-Why not remove the contaminated materials in the landfill instead of capping it?
-Does the Navy not want people to know what’s in the landfill?
-This landfill is near the bay. Can toxins leach into the bay water?
The NRDL used at least 25 different building at Hunters Point before consolidating its operations into a single large building. Not all the buildings the NRDL used are on the list for inspection. Why?
