Uh, no.
Rocketdyne operated a reactor in Moorpark, roughly 50 miles from LA, and 350 miles from Stanford. An incident occurred in 1959. Rocketdyne issued “...a press release, a motion picture and reports to the public following the 1959 incident.”
See the Wikipedia article. An impartial reader will notice that the left has constantly tried to make a big issue of the incident, and the scientific evidence is that there was very little measurable radiation released.
Atomics International was a division of North American Aviation (NAA) when the reactor incident occurred in 1959. The reactor was located in NAA’s Santa Susana Field Laboratory (SSFL) located in the hills between San Fernando Valley and Simi Valley.
Rocketdyne (also a division of NAA) also tested rocket engines in SSFL in a different location at the time. Atomics International was merged into Rocketdyne much later.
Yup
