The Woolsey Fire started near the site of a 1959 reactor meltdown that
released more radiation than the three mile island incident. Now Malibu
residents worry their homes were tainted by radioactive fallout from the
blaze.
When the deadly Woolsey Fire broke out at the Santa Susana Field Lab site
last month, state officials assured residents that no high-level toxins or
radiation were present at the site, known for decades of nuclear and
rocket-engine testing in the hills above the San Fernando and Simi valleys.
But those statements have been met with skepticism by residents and
activists. Now, they are rolling out their own study that will look into
potential contamination from the site during the fire.
