Canoga Avenue Facility Information
Location
Canoga Avenue
Los Angeles, California
Under an operating contract with the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC), North American Aviation performed research and development into the peaceful uses of nuclear energy at the Canoga Avenue Facility in Canoga Park, CA. This work was previously performed at North American Aviation’s Downey Facility, but was moved to Canoga Avenue at the very end of 1955. Principal work performed included design, development and radiochemistry. Beryllium machining is also believed to have occurred in there.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission concluded in its 1995 report on the facility that it “was found to be free of radioactive materials which indicated that the area had been successfully remediated… in the past.”
