At left, Kristin addressing the leaders of African nations in Kinshasa, Congo. She was asked to provide quantitative risk assessments of nuclear-reactor and hazardous-waste threats. Eight African nations have reactors, many lacking adequate security or repair. Many of Kristin’s books/scientific articles focus on the subject of her lecture. At right, the southeast corner of the former US Naval Ordnance Test Station, Pasadena (NOTSPA), which developed, tested, and manufactured World War II torpedoes and rockets, then later weapons such as the Polaris Nuclear Missiles. In 1976, the Navy merely paved the site, leaving in place no-safe-dose contaminants, like carcinogenic solvents, volatile organic compounds, at nearly a million times above allowed levels. Some of Kristin’s 2020 and later publications critique the flawed environmental-sciences methods, misused by prospective site developers, that grossly underestimate NOTSPA public-health risks. Instead of full cleanup, the developers hope to save money by employing land-use restrictions, such as requiring blowers to try to disperse gaseous, no-safe-dose carcinogens. Yet 40 percent of site apartments are planned for families with children.
