Nuclear Accidents in Los Angeles Contaminated Santa Susana Field Laboratory in the 1950s. Radioactive Land Burned in Wildfires THIS WEEK. Officials Say "No Danger" to Public.

Of Course, there IS A Danger to the Public but... The MAIN Danger is breathing smoke from burning Houses with PLASTIC furniture, rugs, computers ETC. That's much worse than Burning NUKES. 

What really amazes me is that I've never heard about the Atomic Accident in Los Angeles... I heard about Chernobyl, Fukushima and TMI but never Santa Susana... The Coverup Worked...

"In fact, from July 12 through July 26, 1959, an unknown amount of radioactive gases were intentionally vented to prevent the Sodium Reactor Experiment from overheating and exploding."

Independent Scientific Studies of Potential Community Impacts From SSFL Nuclear Meltdown 


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Susana_Field_Laboratory
Throughout the years, about ten low-power nuclear reactors operated at SSFL, in addition to several "critical facilities" that helped develop nuclear science and applications. At least four of the ten nuclear reactors had accidents during their operation. The reactors located on the grounds of SSFL were considered experimental, and therefore, had no containment structures.
The site ceased research and development operations in 2006. The years of rocket testing, nuclear reactor testing, and liquid metal research have left the site "significantly contaminated". Environmental cleanup is ongoing.
The Woolsey Fire began with a brush fire ignited near the closed Santa Susana Field Laboratory (also referred to as the Rocketdyne facility) south of Simi Valley Thursday afternoon and has since grown to over 10,000 acres and claimed an undetermined number of structures.
The Rocketdyne facility was the site of a partial nuclear meltdown nearly sixty years ago and the subject of controversial and stalled cleanup efforts for decades.
"Our scientists and toxicologists have reviewed information about the fire's location and do not believe the fire has caused any releases of hazardous materials that would pose a risk to people exposed to the smoke," reads a statement from the California Department of Toxic Substances Control.

EPA (Enable Pollution Agency) says Breathing Clean Air is not important. Corporate Profits Rule. Scott Pruitt is destroying America.

What’s in a silver dollar? Who’s buried in Grant’s tomb? What’s the purpose of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency? Some questions answer themselves, but EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt gets the easiest one completely wrong. He’s made it his job to protect polluters and put the environment at risk. It’s not the agency’s mission that needs changing―it’s the administrator. Scott Pruitt’s got to go. That’s not a position NRDC takes lightly. We’ve disagreed with EPA administrators before. Pruitt, though, is intent on making the agency fail. That’s why we’ve joined with other environmental advocacy groups to call on President Trump to replace Pruitt with someone who’ll protect the people, not the polluters.
