Truck carrying radioactive dirt catches fire, closes westbound I-80 in Tooele County

GRANTSVILLE, Tooele County — A truck carrying radioactive dirt caught fire and forced the closure of westbound I-80 in Tooele County between Lakepoint and Grantsville Thursday morning, according to Utah Highway Patrol Lt. Todd Royce.

The road closed about 7:30 a.m. and westbound traffic is now being forced off at state Route 36 in Lakepoint. The KSL Traffic Center urges commuters to take state Route 138 to Grantsville to get back on I-80.




Ladies and gentlemen, take my advice - pull down your pants and slide on the ice.

Looks like the cab, not the contents are burning.

Don't let facts get in the way of your outrage. Wink

" The container carrying the dirt is still intact and no radiation was exposed, according to Utah Highway Patrol Lt. Todd Royce."

Yeah, but where's the fun in that?

Wife’s stepfather was in this hauling business. Briefly. They call it dirty-dirt apparently.

After his drunk son tipped a truck off side of a dirt road they suddenly were no longer hauling.

Genius.

I think they were building that disposal facility toward the end of my time stationed at Hill AFB in the 90’s. I spent a lot of hours out that way at the Utah Test and Training Range.

Faculty is was most certainly going to is EnergySolutions Clive.

Reminds me why I use trucks as little as possible for waste transport, just to get it from site to transload facility, which puts it on trains.

I’ll be sending 82,000+ cubic yards of uranium impacted soil over the next few years from MA to either Clive (UT), a site in TX, or one in ID. Truck to train to truck for all of them.

Fun fact - finely divided uranium (powder or fine particles) is pyrophoric. E.G. spontaneous combustion, a Class D fire that is very hot and difficult to extinguish.
