The site activated the Y-12 Emergency Response Organization and we've been in close contact with local and state officials."According to officials, there was no discharge of radioactive material because air monitors did not activate. However, officials have not yet determined the cause of the fire. Y-12 spokesperson Gene Patterson stated:"This is an ongoing investigation. We are still in the process of figuring out exactly what that timeline is on what happened this morning."Officials emphasized that there were no concerns for community members and stressed the unlikeliness of contamination as a result of the fire. They also added that other portions of Y-12 have resumed normal operations. Authorities also confirmed that the substance involved in the fire was uranium's metal compound.During World War II, the Manhattan Project, which worked on research and development, was based at this complex. This project manufactured the first nuclear weapons.It was headed by the United States with Canada and the United Kingdom as its allies.
