Technicians responsible for waste destruction produced 6 hexolite sludge batches to burn. A mine slated for destruction was placed on top of one of these batches and the fire was then ignited. Five minutes later, one of the batches exploded, as a chain reaction due to the mine explosion. The other batches did not make the transition. A crater approximately 5 metres in diameter and 30 to 80 cm deep was created.

Subsequent burning sessions would only be conducted using products of the same type; the mines would be destroyed by blasting instead of burning.
