After a fire broke out at a Y-12 National Security Complex housing Uranium, officials say that there are no indications that any radioactive materials were released. This happened early Wednesday. The areas were evacuated yet there were no injuries.
Tony Boser, a technical adviser, said that the fire was in a processing area and it was contained to that area. The cause of the fire is not yet known. Patterson said an investigation is ongoing.
All employees have been accounted for and there were no injuries, Consolidated Nuclear Security spokesperson Gene Patterson said. CNS is contracted by the NNSA to operate Y-12.
Continuous air monitors in the area have not alerted officials to any release of radioactivity, Wyatt said. Officials said there are no impacts to the public and a shelter-in-place order for employees was lifted around 11:30 a.m.
According to the Y-12 website, a new uranium processing facility is being constructed to phase out dependency on Building 9212. The building was constructed in 1945 and has undergone multiple renovations and repairs over time.
