Rocketdyne, Rocketdyne, now where do I know that company from? Oh yeah, they’re the ones that melted down the test reactor above Silicon Valley and contaminated a bunch of people along with Stanford University and then covered it up for 40 years. Oh well, progress.
Can’t find the event you’re referencing. You talking about the Santa Susana sodium reactor experiment? That was done by Atomics International, which was acquired by Rocketdyne after that.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of people.
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.
Wasn’t that Simi Valley?
