.. Rocketdyne wollte das Zeugs u.a. aus dem Sodium Reactor Experiment (SRE) Testreaktor loswerden und fand das so am "Bequemsten". Zahlreiche Krebstote unter den Ausführenden.
Ob man das bei den so supertollen neuen Flüssigsalzreaktoren dann wohl anders macht? Ach, ich vergaß, angeblich gibt es dann ja fast keinen Atommüll mehr ... (ist natürlich Quatsch)

Auf Atommüll schießen? Mir scheint, der Menschheit ist keine Idee abwegig genug, um sie nicht wiederholt an mehreren Stellen unseres Planeten auszuprobieren.
Auf dem Gelände des Santa Susana Field Laboratory (SSFL) schoss man auf natriumhaltige Müllbehälter, um sie in sg. Sodium Burn Pits (real Teiche) zum Brennen (Natrium + Wasser ..) zu bringen. ..

Sites with #radioactive material more vulnerable as #ClimateChange increases #wildfire, #flood risks

"As #Texas #wildfires burned toward the nation’s primary #NuclearWeapons facility, workers hurried to ensure nothing flammable was around buildings and storage areas.
"When the fires showed no sign of slowing, #Pantex Plant officials urgently called on local contractors, who arrived within minutes with bulldozers to dig trenches and enlarge fire breaks for the sprawling complex where nuclear weapons are assembled and disassembled and dangerous #plutonium pits — hollow spheres that trigger nuclear warheads and bombs — are stored."
[...]
"Dozens of active and idle laboratories and manufacturing and #military facilities across the nation that use, store or are contaminated with radioactive material are increasingly vulnerable to #ExtremeWeather. Many also perform critical energy and defense research and manufacturing that could be disrupted or crippled by fires, floods and other disasters.
"There’s the 40-square-mile #LosAlamos National Laboratory in #NewMexico, where a 2000 wildfire burned to within a half mile (0.8 kilometers) of a #RadioactiveWaste site. The heavily polluted #SantaSusana Field Laboratory [#SSFL] in Southern #California, where a 2018 wildfire burned 80% of the site, narrowly missing an area #contaminated by a 1959 partial #NuclearMeltdown. And the #plutonium-contaminated #Hanford nuclear site in #Washington, where the U.S. manufactured #AtomicBombs.
"'I think we’re still early in recognizing climate change and ... how to deal with these extreme weather events,' said Paul Walker, program director at the environmental organization Green Cross International and a former staff member of the House Armed Services Committee. 'I think it’s too early to assume that we’ve got all the worst-case scenarios resolved ... (because) what might have been safe 25 years ago probably is no longer safe.”

Climate climate change increasingly threatens research laboratories, weapons sites and power plants across the nation that handle or are contaminated with radioactive material or perform critical energy and defense research. The Department of Energy recently required existing sites to assess vulnerability to fires, floods and other disasters. Now the agency division that oversees active sites will decide how to consider future climate risks when issuing permits or licenses. The General Accounting Office is urging the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to do the same for nuclear power plants.

Massive #SantaSusana Lab #Contamination Deliberately Hidden Since 1981
By Michael Collins • on April 30, 2023
"This active conspiracy to deceive the public has lasted 42 years. Thousands of pages of documents have revealed shocking tales of #environmental crimes that are all the more alarming considering that #NASA will leave most of its deadly goo behind, fouling the water and land for hundreds of years to come. That land is now surrounded by over 700,000 residents within ten miles."

Why Is the #SantaSusana #Nuclear Accident Still Being Covered Up?
Excavating Six Decades of Buried Secrecy, Neglect, and Flat-Out Lies in the #SanFernando Valley
By Warren Olney, January 13, 2022
"The Field Lab (#SSFL) opened in 1947, at the onset of the Cold War, and the reactor accident happened in 1959. The Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) and a nuclear contractor kept it secret for 20 years, but there was no denying the evidence we revealed on local TV, discovered in AEC archives by the watchdog group Committee to Bridge the Gap.
"Today, that accident is still news, as Gov. Gavin Newsom appears to be backing away from enforcing a cleanup of nuclear contamination that remains on the site. Sixty-three years since the accident, Santa Susana should remind us of the perils not only of nuclear materials but also of our short memories. This story’s hardest lesson is that when dangerous secrets get buried you often have to keep excavating them, over and over.
"Over the years, #residential development moved closer to the Field Lab, but no one ever told the public about the release of radioactive contamination which would remain dangerous for thousands of years. In 1989, a local newspaper reported on secret government studies showing extensive contamination at the site. That drew attention from unsuspecting homeowners, and a community group called the #Rocketdyne Cleanup Coalition sprang up to oppose re-licensing of site facilities. Nuclear operations at Santa Susana finally halted in 1990."

But when I asked about radioactive emissions, an executive for the Rocketdyne subsidiary Atomics International told me, on camera: “The potential hazard of major release into the environment was just not there.” That was a flat out lie.
In The Valley of the Dark
A Documentary from 2021:
A group of mothers discovers that the Santa Susana Field Laboratory was the site of one of the most significant nuclear accidents in United States history and may have exposed their children and their community to cancer-causing hazardous waste.
"In 1959, an unconfined partial meltdown of a sodium reactor at the #SantaSusanaFieldLab caused such a devastating radiation leak, that many consider it to be the worst #nuclear disaster in U.S. history. Studies have shown that the radiation released at #SSFL was 260 times greater than the radiation released at Three Mile Island.
"Located just 30 miles from Downtown, #LosAngeles, the meltdown was concealed from the public eye for 20 years before being uncovered and the contamination never fully eradicated. The partial meltdown unveiled decades of negligence and unsafe handling of extremely #toxic #radioactive and #chemical materials.
"The affected community has demanded a full cleanup of the area for decades, but they’re receiving pushback from the sites #corporate and government landowners, as these juggernauts and their persuasive #lobbyists have successfully stalled any hope of a cleanup. Until Recently."
