Fund for Investigative Journalism Santa Susana Project
The California Report, 4/21/17 - 5/16/17
In a series of web and radio reports, I investigated the long-stalled cleanup of the Santa Susana Field Laboratory near Los Angeles. The project describes how NASA and the Department of Energy failed to fulfill their legal commitments to remove the contamination they and other federal agencies caused, including the radiation from a partial nuclear meltdown a half century ago. A final segment examined similar regulatory failures by California’s Department of Toxic Substances Control.
