Paducah AEC Plant Fire Damages Diffusion Building
A large building at the Atomic Energy Commission plant near Paducah Kentucky was damaged by an explosion and fire. Officials said there is no radiation danger and the rest of the plant continued operating. The blast occurred about dark and was controlled in 90 minutes. The damaged structure housed the gaseous diffusion process used to separate uranium 235 from U-238. The plant, operated by Union Carbide Nuclear Corp for the AEC, employs 1,600. No injuries were reported. Plant manager B N Stiller called the damage of considerable proportion and the cause was not yet determined.
