Did you know there was a #nuclear reactor #meltdown in 1959, near a suburb of Los Angeles run by #Rocketdyne?
It was covered up until '79.
They burned the nuclear waste material in open air burn pits on site.
They vented the pressure inside the melted down #SRE reactor chamber to the air for weeks.
The water aquifers in the area are contaminated with tritium, apparently the local water dept. uses the presence of tritium to track the underground rivers in the area.
