‘We’ve been too patient’: Community, officials demand action on Santa Susana Field Lab cleanup (VC Reporter)
“An advocacy group founded by families of children diagnosed with rare cancers, Parents Against Santa Susana Field Lab, recently staged a “10 Days of Action campaign,” to coincide with the 65th anniversary of the 1959 incident involving an experimental nuclear reactor that overheated and experienced a core meltdown, with radioactive gasses released into the air. PASSFL held a July 23 protest at the Ventura County Government Center and urged the board of supervisors to file a lawsuit against the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) over a July 2023 environmental impact report regarding cleanup plans by NASA, Boeing and the U.S. Department of Energy, the parties responsible for the contaminated site.”
