In the Dark of the Valley Documentary

This is an extraordinary documentary:

Particularly interesting to me as I lived in the San Fernando Valley area for a decade and spent several months working in Simi Valley in '86.

Some excerpts from the above linked article on the horror story of nuclear accidents that have occurred at the Santa Susana Field Lab:

Quote:
In 1979, a UCLA student named Michael Rose uncovered evidence of a partial nuclear meltdown at the Santa Susana Field Lab (SSFL) in the Simi Hills outside of Los Angeles.
Quote:
...the partial nuclear meltdown had occurred at SSFL twenty years earlier in 1959, releasing up to 459 times more radiation into the environment than the infamous meltdown at the Three Mile Island nuclear reactor in Pennsylvania. Unlike the Three Mile Island facility, the SSFL reactors lacked containment structures...

Fact that must be the foremost of the many.
