Laboratory with NASA. The 2900 acre site is located off Woolsey Canyon in Canoga Park was used
for federally funded nuclear and rocket engine research from the mid-1950s until the 1990s and was the
site of at least nine nuclear accidents, including a partial reactor meltdown
in 1959. Based upon a 2006 study, the Los Angeles Times reported the meltdown
