A fire "involving uranium" broke out Wednesday morning at the Y-12 National Security Complex in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, prompting an emergency response, according to a spokesperson for the National Nuclear Security Administration.
The NNSA spokesperson confirmed to Fox News Digital that the fire began at approximately 9:15 a.m. local time in Building 9212 of the federal facility and that the impact of the fire has been limited to the site itself.
"Emergency Services responded to the event. The site activated the Y-12 Emergency Response Organization and we’ve been in close contact with local and state officials," the spokesperson said.
Roughly 200 employees were evacuated from the building, with all employees accounted for. Other buildings next door to 9212 were evacuated as well.

The USA is systematically being sabotaged and no one says a thing. One train wreck after another, 70 food plants burned to the ground. What next?
Where is Chuck Norris when you need him? Reminds me of the movie Invasion USA, only the USA doesn't have a Chuck Norris protecting us, we have an FBI that is mostly concerned about going after parents concerned about their children being brain washed, and with a heavy internal focus on equity, which means in my language advance the totally incompetent.
America is being systematically destroyed.
