| event text = General Dynamics Land Systems services the M1 Abrams Tank at their Joint Systems Manufacturing Center located in Lima, OH. Following approved procedures, technicians removed the outer side armor followed by welders punching two (2) holes into the depleted uranium armor package. When the technician inserted a hydrogen probe, a detonation occurred causing a flame to eject through the holes. The flame struck the technician on his Tyvek coveralls but did not cause any injury. A rad survey of the area confirmed minor contamination inside the armor cavity and on the floor adjacent to the right side of the turret armor cavity. Decontamination of the floor is ongoing, however, the armor cavity will be resealed as a contaminated volume. | | event text = General Dynamics Land Systems services the M1 Abrams Tank at their Joint Systems Manufacturing Center located in Lima, OH.
