WORKERS

Thousands of men and women worked at the Santa Susana Field Lab (formerly known as Rocketdyne) between 1949 - 2006. Employees of Rocketdyne, NASA, the Department of Energy, and former agencies such as North American Aviation and Atomics International Agency, created and supported research in nuclear energy, rocket engine tests, heavy metal testing and chemical laser work.
