	Rocketdyne Santa Susana Field Laboratory Contamination - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Rocketdyne Santa Susana Field Laboratory Contamination is a disputed and controversial issue involving the reported contamination of the groundwater, air, workers, and nearby residents near Boeing's (Rocketdyne's) rocket and nuclear test facility known as the Santa Susana Field Labs (or SSFL) in Southern California between 1954-1989.
		Residents of the field lab's surrounding communities were never notified of the activities taking place at the open field lab, nor were they ever notified of the nuclear materials used during spills, accidents or releases, and are now subjects of study regarding contaminant exposure from SSFL by UCLA.
		Whether or not firefighters working against the blazes in the Santa Susana area wore protective clothing or were notified of the source of the water that was used to extinguish fires from Rocketdyne's contaminated holding pond remains unknown.

	Santa Susana Field Laboratory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It has been suggested that Rocketdyne Santa Susana Field Laboratory Contamination be merged into this article or section.
		The Santa Susana Field Laboratory (SSFL) is a once prolific rocket and nuclear reactor test facility located 30 miles north of downtown Los Angeles, California.
		While community members and firefighters have expressed concern about the amount of exposure, Boeing personnel stand by their position that no contamination of the air resulted from the fire, and that any contamination that may have been consumed by the fire was negligible.

		Rocketdyne's next major development was their first all-new design, the S-3D, which had been developed in parallel to the V-2derived A series.
		Rocketdyne also became the major supplier for NASA's development efforts, supplying allof their major engines for the Saturn (and potentially, Nova) designs.Rocketdyne's H-1 engine was used by the Saturn I booster main stage, whichconsisted essentially of a cluster of eight Jupiter's.
		Rocketdyne produced many projects and programs concurrently with Edwards Air Force Base located in the Antelope Valley within the high desert area of California at Rosamond, as did the aerospace industry corporation, Lockheed, nowknown as Lockheed Martin.

		As a result, the levels of contamination could be 10 to 15 times higher than what is being recorded by the tests, said Daniel Hirsch, a member of an interagency group monitoring the cleanup.
		Rocketdyne's director of safety, health and environmental affairs, called the criticism "sort of a red herring," saying water tested at the site has met all public health standards.
		Rocketdyne's field lab, located in the hills between Simi Valley and Los Angeles' San Fernando Valley, was used for decades until the 1980s to test rocket engines and perform nuclear tests.

		Rocketdyne conducted test firings for the U.S. Air Force (USAF) when there were no restrictions on the release or disposal of TCE or any other hazardous chemicals.
		Rocketdyne discovered TCE contamination during tests of water supply wells on laboratory grounds in March 1984 and reported the problem to Federal and State environmental authorities.
		Rocketdyne's methodology for distributing environmental preventive costs resulted in a disproportionate share of the costs being distributed to NASA through Rocketdyne's General and Administrative cost pool.

		Contaminants include but are not limited to cesium-137, strontium-90, perchlorate, hydrazine and trichloroethylene.
		Perchlorate is also a byproduct of spent nuclear fuel and its contamination has been discovered in many monitoring wells in Simi and discovered in the valley's soil and groundwater as well.
		Rocketdyne officials pleaded guilty to criminal handling, storage, and disposal of nuclear, radioactive, hazardous, and toxic wastes.

	Madeline Felkins Rocketdyne/Boeing HOTSHEETS News: SSFL 'Hot Rock Suit'
		The experts hired by the Santa Barbara law firm of Cappello & Noel said the plaintiffs were exposed by inhalation to a number of hazardous substances, including hexavalent chromium, radionuclides, trichloroethylene and a "toxic chemical cloud containing multiple human carcinogens" that caused at least 83 plaintiffs to contract cancer.
		The lawsuit alleges that chemical and radioactive contamination from the Field Lab caused the illnesses and deaths.
		While Kabei could not be reached for comment, neighbors of the field laboratory said her letter clearly pointed out the difference between what the EPA is expecting and what the DOE is willing to do.

	Global Network - Radioactive waste sent to landfills - 10/4/02
		Low-level radioactive waste from the Boeing Rocketdyne Santa Susana Field Laboratory in Simi Valley has been going to a local municipal landfill for perhaps as long as a decade, according to state waste management authorities.
		Rocketdyne began cleanup of the nuclear and rocket research facility in the hills above Simi Valley a decade ago.
		Roberti maintains that even low levels of radioactivity or contamination are unacceptable for public landfills in populated areas, and he is concerned about migration of toxicants through ground-water and various materials.
