Another day, another totally not suspicious fire/accident involving deadly substances breaks out in another red state.
It's become almost normal now so why not go after nuke materials this time?
If you wanted to keep the populace scared & on edge, what would you do different than what we see coming at us from every angle these days?
If you wanted to particularly go after those least likely to ever bend the knee to the wokester agenda, the places with "accidents" would be the prime candidates.
Plants catching fire, trains derailing all over, cyber attacks,

How long till leaked security video shows Biden's DOE twinkster pup handler Sam Brinton, the trans with the sticky hands, coming strolling out in the chaos with a stack of stolen purses under each arm?

On Wednesday, a fire involving uranium occurred at the Y-12 National Security Complex in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Emergency response personnel were dispatched to the scene, and a spokesperson for the complex confirmed that all employees had been accounted for and there were no injuries.

The National Nuclear Security Administration released a statement saying that the fire occurred at 9:14 a.m. in building 9212, causing the area to be evacuated. However, continuous air monitors in the area indicated that there was no release of radioactivity.

Y-12 is a Department of Energy facility managed and operated by Consolidated Nuclear Security, LLC. It is critical in the United States' nuclear weapons program, particularly in uranium enrichment, nuclear nonproliferation, and nuclear materials storage.

The facility covers an area of approximately 5,200 acres and employs around 4,600 people. It is responsible for producing, processing, and storing nuclear materials and maintaining the nation's nuclear stockpile. In 2021, the complex received a budget of over $1.5 billion from the U.S. government.

Y-12 was established in 1943 as part of the Manhattan Project, the U.S. government's top-secret program to develop the first atomic bomb. Since then, the complex has been involved in numerous national security initiatives, including nuclear weapons production for the Cold War and dismantling nuclear weapons as part of various arms reduction treaties.


This place is HUGE. Imagine a facility 8 miles long by 1 mile wide.
