My wife died on Christmas Eve 2021. We lived and worked within 8 miles of the Santa Susana Laboratory. No one ever told us about the potential danger. My wife died from pancreatic cancer. No one in her family including her 11 brothers and sisters have any history of cancer. You would think the worst nuclear accident in United States history would be something every school child should learn in science class. Unfortunately the only way you find out about this is usually after a loved one has passed away. The pain of the loss of my wife is unbearable. I don’t want anyone to have to endure this type of pain.
@How to love yourself There is a young lady that was diagnosed with Brain cancer and I have her on my channel showing the struggle she has been going through the last 3 years. Thats what people don't understand, even with Normalized discharges of effluents from NPP that consist of tritium H3O, Carbon-14, Krypton-85 and Xenon-133, Iodine-131, particulates and an "other" catagory. Organically bound tritium.....is not the same as just tritium.
@@garothetruther2571 Hi Garo the truther, the fire released more than chemicals, it released radionuclides of which some are water soluble and very mobile in the environment. These radionuclides bond to the oxygen in water and will evaporate with that water to then flow around the planet. Many are longer lived radionuclides and it is unknown specifically how far they will travel in the water cycle.
@@paulmobleyscience oh wow that’s actually crazy. Do you have any tips so i can protect my family in the house? I can’t find a lot of info on the internet, if you have some tips to keep my family safe I’d appreciate it
My parents moved our family to Simi in 64 when I was 6. We lived maybe 3 to 4 miles, as the crow flies, from the test site. Lived in Simi until 84. I remember watching the rocket tests from the valley floor. Had no idea of the dangers we were being exposed to until years after leaving the area. My younger brother was 3 years old when we moved there. He died at 44. My youngest sister had just been born before moving there. She died at 46. To this day, I wonder if their exposure contributed to their deaths.
Great video! Thank you so much for doing this. This is so important. I have done an analysis using screenshots of your video, leading me to many many more questions. Thanks again!!
I grew up on Appleton Road in Simi Valley (80's) right at the foot of Rocketdyne and would go ride bikes and shoot BB guns in these hills almost every day. Along the main trail was a decent size reservoir (Runkle Reservoir) you walk by that was usually dried and cracked and for a period of time there were 55 gallon drums strewn all over the place in the dry reservoir with bright liquid stuff leaking out of them. I don't remember if there were identifying marks on the drums but it was just like a stereotypical toxic waste dump you'd see in a movie.
I lived on Beaver, and also remember this. We would walk all over those hills, and I thought at the time that the biggest threat was the sign that said to watch out for rattlesnakes. I found out about this disaster about 30 years after leaving Simi. It was really not publicized at all, but there was documentation that surfaced at UCLA around the same time as the 3 mile island disaster. I wonder if they will ever make an effort to clean it up.
It looks like it is on top of a hill. Who was the dumb person who sited and built a nuclear reactor there?? And then who allowed high density housing all around it, particularly the West Hills side. Radiation remains despite it happening in 1959. We need more information on he fallout and deposition patterns of the radiation since kids continue to get cancer from it today.
When it was built there was nothing around it, there's a old news article talking about the field lab and referring to the location as "in the middle of nowhere".
The wind direction during the fire carried smoke and debris directly to Newbury Park, the opposite direction of Chatsworth. The fire also spread westward and hit Thousand Oaks and intersected with the Hill fire that was burning in Newbury Park.
@@ExploringVenturaCounty So are you saying the San Fernando Valley didn't really get a big hit due to wind conditions? There are still people working up there at the Boeing facility from what I have seen. Do you know if Boeing still has use for it?

Im so sorry for loss. More warnings need to go out to everyone that lives and works in this area.

@@paulmobleyscience are these chemicals still being released? And if so how far did the contamination go?

Newbury Park is so far away from that site. Why do you mention it? And isn't Chatsworth just as close as Simi Valley or closer?

Can you make a video simi vally nuclear disaster site ?
