#SouthernCalifornia #wildfires force evacuations, and one is threatening a #nuclear facility
Evacuations remain in place for fires burning in #Ventura and #Riverside counties. The Sandy Fire in #SimiValley is burning near the #SantaSusanaFieldLaboratory, a former #NuclearReactor site, raising #AirQuality concerns.

Excerpt: "Due to the Sandy Fire’s proximity to the Santa Susana Field Laboratory, a former nuclear reactor and rocket testing facility, officials are conducting air quality monitoring around the fire perimeter.
" 'Monitoring equipment has been proactively deployed to establish background air quality readings and to help assess conditions should the fire advance further into the area,' according to CAL Fire. 'At this time, the fire has not crossed into the Field Laboratory property.'
"Nuclear cleanup continues more than 50 years after a nuclear reactor mishap at the #Rocketdyne site. Fire crews are prioritizing the protection of the facility and the surrounding communities. "

#LAFires Could Transform Former #Rocketdyne Site into #FEMATrailerPark
January 2025
"#Radiation and chemical vapors on 47-acre #CanogaPark site are too toxic for housing, but could be mitigated to safely house residents displaced by January 2025 fires in above-ground trailers.
- Gross site contamination and development encumbrances prohibit residential housing
- Hundreds of #FEMATrailers, mobile homes and even shipping containers could be placed on site safely and temporarily house thousands of #LosAngeles disaster victims [Or maybe a potential #DetentionCenter? Hmmmm...]
- Efforts to clean up polluted west Valley groundwater could emulate 2024 agreement to remediate fouled east Valley aquifer and provide billions of gallons of clean water"The former Rocketdyne Canoga Park facility in the western #SanFernandoValley is so contaminated that it is nearly impossible to build anything on it other than light industry even though a developer wanted to construct homes on the site.
"#Chemicals and #radiation severely contaminate the land and #groundwater in and around the site according to documentation obtained by EnviroReporter.com.
"According to astonishing information never before covered in the media, areas offsite and around #RocketdyneCanoga are hot with high amounts of gross alpha and uranium radiation."

The story of the #Rocketdyne Tri-propellent test #Rocket Engine.
The SI was over 500 but the engineering challenges were formidable, to say the very least 😳🤦♂️
Have you Hazard Bingo Card on hand and see how many you can cross off before the end of the episode 🫨😣
That anyone was actually so ridiculously stupid enough to test this concept says all you need to know about safety standards in that time period
Not quite the most dangerous Rocket engine concept ever conceived, but it gets close.
