Summary

On October 28, 2026, a fire occurred at the Savannah River National Laboratory within the Savannah River Site in South Carolina, resulting in one injured employee. The incident prompted officials to declare a Site Area Emergency, which included shelter-in-place orders for staff and temporary restrictions on local air, rail, and river traffic. While reports differ on the nature of the release, with some accounts noting an unfiltered ground-level radiological release, no radiological contamination has been reported. The fire was extinguished within two hours, and no damage to the facility was reported.
