Radioactive Waste 52 - Santa Susana Field Laboratory History - Part 1 of 3
Part 1 of 3
I have been blogging a lot lately about problems with radioactive contamination in Seattle and at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation. Many other states have their own problems with contamination left over from nuclear research and processing. However, I was astonished at the casual attitude that governed the handling of nuclear materials and radioactive waste at the Santa Susana Field Laboratory (SSFL) near Santa Monica, California.

Radioactive Waste 51 - August Update on the Magnuson Park Cleanup
Following the last meeting in July on the radium contamination at Magnuson Park, I was given to understand by the Washington State Department of Ecology (WSDOE) that the period for public comments was being extended to August 31st. However, I found out last Saturday that the Navy’s period for public comments had quietly ended the day before on July 26th.
