The result could be radionuclides like cesium-137, strontium-90 and plutonium-239/240 being left in place at high levels in violation of agreements between the State and DOE. ]]> http://www.enviroreporter.com/2012/03/rocketdyne-still-hot/feed/ 1 http://www.enviroreporter.com/2012/03/radiation-readings-soar-at-rocketdyne/ http://www.enviroreporter.com/2012/03/radiation-readings-soar-at-rocketdyne/#comments Tue, 06 Mar 2012 10:03:12 +0000 Michael Collins http://www.enviroreporter.com/?p=12718 http://www.enviroreporter.com/2012/03/radiation-readings-soar-at-rocketdyne/feed/ 12 http://www.enviroreporter.com/2010/10/rocketdyne-romper-room/ http://www.enviroreporter.com/2010/10/rocketdyne-romper-room/#comments Mon, 04 Oct 2010 08:45:20 +0000 Michael Collins http://www.enviroreporter.com/?p=9804 EnviroReporter.com weeds out disgruntled Rocketdyne commenters freshly aroused by new LA Weekly article "Rocketdyne Cleanup Won't Help Runkle Canyon."

In the early 1950s, a rocket crew member figured out how to keep rocket exhaust flames from melting the bottom of not only the test stands, but the rock they were standing on: use cascading showers of water to cool the hot zone. The result may have been to massively spread poisonous rocket fuel on a level not previously known. Finding may help explain one major contributing factor at the astronomically polluted lab.]]> http://www.enviroreporter.com/2010/02/goo-ology/feed/ 3 http://www.enviroreporter.com/2009/12/cain-was-able/ http://www.enviroreporter.com/2009/12/cain-was-able/#comments Mon, 28 Dec 2009 07:06:12 +0000 Michael Collins http://www.enviroreporter.com/?p=8233 EnviroReporter.com was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of our friend Steve Cain, senior environmental planner for the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board, on December 16. In our last communications, Steve provided us with information crucial to an investigation that could impact the health and well-being of untold numbers of people, speaking volumes about Steve’s integrity.
