Ongoing issues at San Onofre CA deactivated nuclear power plant
San Onofre nuclear power plant has 1,800 tons of lethal radioactive waste stored on the edge of the Pacific and within sight of the I-5 Freeway. ( LA Times2 dated 07/02/17. Title: "1,800 tons of radioactive waste has an ocean view and nowhere to go." By Ralph Vartabedian.)
Nevada and New Mexico - 2014
In 2014, nuclear engineers failed to properly reassemble a "Godiva" testing unit, leaving off the protective cap and irradiating an international team of engineers. The engineers were not told of the mishap for some months, until engineers started testing positive for radiation in their urine. Technicians discovered the test room and anterior room were contaminated a month after the event. Alarms throughout the facility had been shut off because some of the alarms would be set off by the testing procedure itself. ( Scientific American3

Near fission event, Los Alamos National Laboratory 2011
Improper safety procedures and "showboating" with plutonium led to a near-fission event at Los Alamos in 2011, resulting in an exodus of nuclear safety engineers and 4 year shutdown in operations. ( Center for Public Integrity4
