One Fine Day In The Golden Era Of American Consumerism!Edit
The residents of Southern California all remember what happened in Simi Valley, on July 26, 1959.
However, thanks to the liberal media coverage of the event, the amount of radiation that escaped and where it went was completely exaggerated.
Allegations of a nuclear meltdown began spreading soon after another success by an American corporation in the fight against communism was misinterpreted by the liberal media.

THE ROCKETDYNE MELTDOWN, © 2007 LFP, Inc., All Rights Reserved
By Michael Collins, -Michael Collins is a journalist in Los Angeles who has written for Los Angeles Magazine, LA Weekly and many other publications. He currently is a board member of the Los Angeles Press Club.
The 40-year saga of gross negligence and subsequent whitewashing began when power company Rocketdyne's primitive nuclear reactor, the Sodium Reactor Experiment, experienced a meltdown. Nearly a third of the reactor's core melted, and radioactivity spewed into the environment from the unshielded building. But instead of workers in hazardous-materials suits converging on the scene and evacuating the surrounding area, the disaster was not even acknowledged until six weeks later in a small and misleading press release. The communiqué announced that only "a parted fuel element was observed" and that "the fuel element damage is not an indication of unsafe reactor conditions. No release of radioactive materials to the environment plant or its environs occurred, and operating personnel were not exposed to harmful conditions." It was a lie that Rocketdyne has perpetuated and exacerbated in the decades since.
