A fire at a uranium processing facility in the Y-12 National Security Complex led to the evacuation of hundreds of workers on the morning of Feb. 22, but officials said the fire was quickly contained and no radioactive material was released.

The fire at the Y-12 in Oak Ridge, a highly secure facility where experts manufacture parts for America's nuclear weapons and provide enriched uranium to the U.S. Navy, started around 9:15 a.m. in a uranium processing area in building 9212, Y-12 communications manager Taz Painter told Knox News.

Hours after the fire, officials said all evacuated workers were accounted for and no injuries or contaminations were found.

The building's air monitors did not go off, which meant no radioactive material was released, officials said. As of that afternoon they said they did not know what caused the fire or the extent of the damage.

We live 25 miles from there and have spent a lot of time in the community. There are a lot of “scientists” from other countries doing six figure work that America is too stupid to do.
It would be incredibly easy to have IRG, Russians or Chinese cells working there.
We just happened to be out of state and missed the “hood fire”. Lol.. it’s just a lil hood in a nuclear enrichment facility.
My European family says the US is the only country that doesn’t know the US is at war.
A war on US soil will not be a world war…. No one is coming to help us… meanwhile our military doesn’t know the difference between boys n girls.
The balloon shoot down photo was clearly a fake. Russian planes running amuck.
Friends, be certain you know where your local armory is… unless we are just nuked from orbit.
Our enemies abroad would be crazy not to gather and strike before Biden leaves office.
