Simi Valley Nuclear Disaster

Simi Valley California was the site of the worst nuclear disaster in U.S. history in 1959, and the amounts of radiation leaked to the environment and atomosphere were more than 240 times that of the accident at 3-Mile Island. The area is beautiful today, but what still remains from many decades ago?

There is no deliberate editing, at 6:10 the dialogue is "workers who were working at the facility WERE AT THE HIGHEST RISK", blame my machine, dont doubt me though, just search another version of this video on youtube and you will see.

@geonerd, ill say that my title begins with dr. and im educated in sciences, they said never, which is false per se because nothing is infinite, however to human perspective it may seem like forever since the fuel rods will not be corroded as fast. My expertise ranges from DOE to clinical work, if you have your own observations please write me I may learn something new,

@solidussmith it was not censored, its the video, when it played through the channel it just had a glitch in the dvr.

Guys, simi is safe, it's not like all the citizens there have a disease or something -_-

Don't worry they're way smarter than me or you that is why they call this an experiment.The cause and effect experiment,cause when we release radiation the effect is me and you contracting cancer.Wow you would have thought with 200,000 deaths in Japan by radiation exposure after the two nuclear bombs were dropped on them that safety would be first.Uranium 238 has a half life of 4.4 billion years looks like the cleanup project will take as long as our universe is old.This is called job creation!

I drank the water coming down that hill when I was a kid looking for frogs on hot days,dame them to hell. Russia almost nuked me over Cuba,my own Government did what Russia did not do.

Radiation doesn't mean you automatically get cancer, it just increases the risk. So it's easy to check if people there have an usual high cancer-rate. Can also measure radiation at certain places, but it's hard because it can be in alot of weird places you wouldn't look. Grass, certain water supplies, etc.

my best friend lived in around simi valley, and her little sister who was only 1 year old at the time, got an extremely rare eye cancer from this place's radiation. she lived in the hospital for 2 years and was on the verge of death, it impacted the entire family, as well as giving them problems and chemical imbalances in their brains. i was supposed to go to high school in santa susana, but after i heard of about this, i don't go there. please pass this video on.. you could save a life. <3

@spongermon It's safe to live in, I currently live in Simi Valley and have for 14 years. The only downfall to the town, is there is no fun what so ever.
