The glass, which was next to a mound associated with debris dumped from Brentwood School, registered over four times normal radiation.

Photographs of the West LA VA campus and buildings. Some of the buildings date back to the late 1800's with a large number of structures from the early part of the last century. George W.

The plan failed in part over revelations that part of the development would be in the biomedical chemical nuclear dump EnviroReporter.com exposed.

Photographs of the West LA VA structures formerly used in nuclear experimentation, including on humans and animals. These Atomic Age-experiments involved the toxic radionuclides carbon-14, zinc-65, strontium-85 and strontium-90, gold-198, iodine-125, cobalt-60, copper-67, manganese-54, xenon-133, indium-113, calcium-47, iron-59, and several others.

The prolonged drought in Southern California has caused a continuing brush die-off in the heart of the Brentwood nuclear dump. Much of the mapped center of the known dumping areas is easier to see -- sloping areas that weren't tested in the VA Phase I testing of the eastern arroyo.
