Activists protest Santa Susana Field Lab on 65th anniversary of meltdown, citing ongoing need for cleanup (LAist)
“The activists are marking the 65th anniversary of a partial nuclear reactor meltdown at the Santa Susana Field Lab in July 1959, which released radioactive material and other toxic chemicals into the soil and surrounding areas. At the time, the Atomic Energy Commission issued a statement claiming that there was ‘no release of radioactive materials’ into the surrounding area, which was later shown to be false.”
