Title	Agreement State Report - Small Fire at Licensee'S Facility
Event Description	On Wednesday, June 26, 2007, at approximately 8:00 PM EST a fire was reported at the Starmet NMI facility in Concord, Massachusetts [2229 Main Street]. Starmet NMI possesses two materials licenses with Massachusetts, License No. SM-0179 and License No. SU-1453. The fire occurred in the foundry area within the facility, formerly used for the manufacture of depleted uranium munitions. The fire appeared to be contained to a small area within the building, in the vicinity of a 55-gal drum, a 5-gal bucket and a small pile of metal shavings. Radiological surveys performed once the fire was extinguished resulted in no elevated readings from any of these containers or the material. The investigation is ongoing and more information will be provided as it is obtained. * * UPDATE FROM ROBERT GALLAGHAR TO SNYDER AT 1416 ON 7/12/07 * * * The Concord Fire Department has determined the cause of the fire to have been the auto-ignition of metal filings and therefore non-suspicious in nature. The official fire investigation has been closed. No off-site radiological consequences resulted from this fire. Notified FSME (Holonich), R1DO (Lorson) via e-mail.
