Wildfires sweeping across Texas briefly forced the evacuation of America’s leading nuclear weapons facility as strong winds, dry grass, and unseasonably warm temperatures fed the blaze.
Pantex Plant, the central facility that assembles and disassembles America’s nuclear arsenal, shut down its operations on Tuesday night as the Windy Deuce fire roared toward the Potter County location.
Pantex re-opened and resumed operations as usual on Wednesday morning.
Pantex is about 17 miles (27.36 kilometers) northeast of Amarillo and some 320 miles (515 kilometers) northwest of Dallas.
Since 1975, it has been the US’s main assembly and disassembly site for its atomic bombs. It assembled the last new bomb in 1991.
