    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?

    First time I'm hearing of this. I found it while googling Simi Valley. I can't believe people would want to live there after finding out it was once the site of a nuclear accident. The fact that they admit they don't know the affects would keep me from that area.

    born and raised in simi valley,have i or my family or friends been affected?...who knows. it was an experimental reactor and there is no way to tell how much radiation was released and is still in the ground....im 32 years old and whenever i get a checkup there is no abnormalites found,no cancer,nothing bad. is that to say that i wasnt affected and could be at risk no...my chances along with anyone that has lived in and around simi valley since the mid 50's is just greater.

    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!

    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.

    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,

    @KirkMcLoren Wasn't the first time they lied/covered things up and won't be the last. Too much money and vested business interests at stake! Money is more important that the truth or saftey of the people/environment.
