| event text = At approximately 0142 hours on 6/21/2007, during Solid Waste Uranium Recovery (SWUR) operations, a sequencing problem caused a cardboard box containing combustible waste with about [Deleted] U-235 to be fed on top of a closed feed hopper door. As the equipment cycled the incinerator fire door, the box, which was on top of the feed hopper door ignited. The box was inside the feed hopper containment shroud when it ignited. The integrity of the containment shroud remained intact during the fire. However, some smoke did escape into the room. | | event text = At approximately 0142 hours on 6/21/2007, during Solid Waste Uranium Recovery (SWUR) operations, a sequencing problem caused a cardboard box containing combustible waste with about [Deleted] U-235 to be fed on top of a closed feed hopper door.
