Groton - When it comes to assessing the potential for radiological
contamination at the Naval Submarine Base, state officials are assuming
the worst.

They insist that every corner of the 687-acre base will have to be
carefully combed for unsafe levels of radiation resulting from past and
present human activities, even those dating back 50 years.

Just scrutinizing the areas along the waterfront where nuclear-powered
submarines have been berthed since the 1950s and the buildings known to
have housed activities involving radioactive equipment is not good
enough, they say.
