Uranium Bonfire: Air Force Incinerated Radioactive Waste Officials at Hill Air Force Base inadvertently orchestrated a uranium bonfire in a waste incinerator at Layton. Over the past eight months, Hill sent a nine-ton batch of obsolete military hardware to the burn plant, unaware that the items contained "trace" amounts of depleted uranium. And when you're burning nine tons of waste, "trace" amounts add up. All told, five pounds of uranium went up in smoke.

Uranium Bonfire: Air Force Incinerated Radioactive Waste

Officials at Hill Air Force Base inadvertently orchestrated a uranium bonfire in a waste incinerator at Layton.

Over the past eight months, Hill sent a nine-ton batch of obsolete military hardware to the burn plant, unaware that the items contained "trace" amounts of depleted uranium. And when you're burning nine tons of waste, "trace" amounts add up. All told, five pounds of uranium went up in smoke.
