No problem.
The practice at FR is to use the article’s title rather than edit your own.

In regards to the article’s content:

Yes, the military was pretty sloppy with its handling of radioactive materials in the 1940s/50s/60s. I was tangentially involved with the cleanup of a Navy reactor in Windsor, CT. They simply buried their low level waste in unlined 55 gallon drums in the woods.

Treasure Island is more a case of ‘its worse than we thought’ than a cover-up. It is a known contaminated site.
