| Event Description | The following is a summary of information received from the Tennessee Division of Radiological Health via email:
A fire on a truck involving a super sack containing low level waste consisting mostly of personal protective equipment and other small items occurred on Interstate 40 in Nashville. The licensee believes there may have been batteries in the sack that could have caused the fire. With the fire out there were no airborne or exposure hazards associated with the material involved. The exposure rates at the trailer were approximately 15 microR/hr. The licensee has dispatched health physicists and a truck with overpack materials to re-pack the load for transport back to their facility in Oak Ridge. No personnel exposures were reported.
