Have Irvine and Lennar Ignored Hazardous Nuclear Waste at El Toro?
Tim King Salem-News.com 8 Dec 08 The Chair for the former Marine base Technical Subcommittee in 2000, went public with details about nuclear contamination at El Toro shortly before his death the same year.(IRVINE, Calif.) – We have written several articles and produced a number of video reports about the environmental damage on the grounds of the now-closed El Toro Marine Corps Air Station in Orange County, California………………..El Toro is also contaminated by nuclear waste………………..Dr. Bennett wrote. “The Uranium they found in Site 1 has too much Uranium 235 in it (N.B. it is the U235 in Uranium that makes nuclear power plants work and splits when an atom bomb explodes). The amount of U235 in the Site 1 samples is more than twice as much as you would find in natural uranium, and several outside experts have confirmed that the Site 1 results demonstrate enriched uranium. If it is enriched, it is man made and not natural. If it is not natural, the DoN will become liable for remediating all the Uranium………………………….ormer Marine said, “our squadrons worked out of El Toro and the test or (tests) were actually carried out on the Yucca Flats (or wherever we did the bulk of our ground testing which included even smaller nuclear weapons which could be mounted on 105-155 etc artillery).” I am hoping to hear from Marines and former Marines and anyone else who may have information regarding the nuclear contamination at El Toro.
