ACME Aerospace Cancer Museum of Education


The mission of ACME Aerospace Cancer Museum of Education ("ACME") is the education of the public of neighboring aerospace industry toxins through the arts.

ACME will provide cancer support forums and educate the public on how to deal with the issues surrounding the Santa Susana Nuclear Field Lab ("SSFL") and other San Fernando Valley Aerospace contamination sites. The 2900-acre SSFL site is located near Woolsey Canyon in Canoga Park and was used for federally funded nuclear research from the mid-1950s until 1996 and was the site of at least nine nuclear accidents, including a partial reactor meltdown in 1959.  Based upon a recent study, the Los Angeles Times reported the meltdown released over 250 times more radiation than the Three Mile Island incident in 1979. The San Fernando Valley is now considered home to the worst nuclear disaster on U.S. soil. Boeing is still fully operating the Field Lab, running daily research activities including a top-secret Air Force project. Some people have no idea how close they live to such a facility.
