Looks like nothing...KABC News in LA just said........

The Marines did not know it was a know facility. The Nuke Org. had capped it however the high radioactive readings may be from recent tampering......

Dirty Bombs could have been made.....

So SO news IMHO

The other thing is the final testing on this stuff is assuredly not going to be done by the Marines.

I don't mean to insult the Marines or anything, but they're a "lean and mean" fighting force with a lot fewer of the specialist troops even the Army has. I'm sure they have people that can test for nuclear materials but I really seriously doubt they have a vastly-experienced highly-educated nuclear exploitation team.

If this was Prine talking to people from NEST or the Department of Energy or the NRC that had been brought in, I'd be a lot more confident.

The problem is people from NEST or DoE or the NRC would almost certainly not talk to embedded reporters wandering around in the middle of their testing.

There were recently used tea bags and other evidence of recent (days old-max) occupation of the facility. KABC is clearly wrong.
