Tennessee: Fire at the Uranium Processing Plant! MASS DEATH???

This is probably nothing.

I mean that – it’s probably nothing.

But at this point, we should be keeping an eye on these various environmental disasters that seem to be happening constantly now, because the media has shown that if something very big happens, they will just ignore it outright.

RT:

A fire broke out at a major US uranium processing facility in Oak Ridge, Tennessee on Wednesday. All employees have been accounted for and there is no danger to the general public, the Department of Energy officials insisted.

The “incident” happened at Building 9212 of the Y-12 National Security Complex, according to the WVLT-TV in nearby Knoxville. Emergency crews responded to “a fire involving uranium,” the outlet reported. About 200 employees who work in the building were evacuated, as emergency crews reacted to handle the blaze.

“I think if you live nearby you’d be very concerned,” a spokesperson for Y-12 told WVLT. “The situation is under control and is contained.”

The facility’s official Twitter account spoke of “an incident” that happened around 9:15 on Wednesday morning. It was later described as “a fire in a hood” that was “contained to the production building.” There were “no reports of injury or contamination,” and there was “no off-site impact to the public as a result of the incident,” Y-12 said.

By 1pm local time the complex had returned to normal operations, but Building 9212 remained off-limits and there was no confirmation that the fire had been put out.

The National Nuclear Security Administration and the contractor Consolidated Nuclear Security, LLC are in charge of the response, Y-12 officials told the local outlet.

It’s easy to get over-excited about this sort of thing when you know the government is covering up disasters. It’s hard to gauge what is and isn’t serious or new.

The East Palestine situation, we’ve determined, is both serious and new. Maybe chemicals have spilled like this before – I can’t find any record of a spill this bad, but it’s possible – but the government has never taken the step of blowing the spill up to purposefully create toxic gas in the atmosphere.

There is going to be mass death in Ohio, and quite possibly in the tri-state region.

Is this fire at the uranium plant serious in that way? I doubt it, but who the hell knows at this point?
