Notes:
From the 1950s to 1989, the Energy Department, NASA, and the Defense Department conducted nuclear experiments at the field lab. A test reactor suffered a partial meltdown at the site in 1959. Former employees and nearby residents have filed lawsuits against Boeing, alleging contamination at the plant led to illness and death of relatives. Those lawsuits are pending in federal court.
