The McAlester Army Ammunition Plant has shut down a production line charged with filling 2,000 pound penetrator bombs with TNT.

McAAP Commander Gary Carney ordered the production line shut down Monday, after members of two separate work crews who work with TNT were diagnosed with hemolytic anemia.

The plant was closed from Sept. 3 through Monday for the Labor Day Holiday. The 2,000 pound bomb line is to remain closed at least through Oct. 2, when a report is due from a McAAP committee assigned to create a plan to make working on the line safe for employees.

He said McAAP will make up for the bombs on the next contract it gets with the Air Force. Since McAAP is the only plant in the U.S. that produces the 2,000 pound penetrator bombs for the U.S. military, no more will be built until production on that particular bomb starts back at McAAP.
