About the only really worry is if the radioactive soil on site becomes airborne when the fire storm rolls over it and it becomes mobilized in the plume.

The safety precautions taken by the staff in recent years should protect the thousands of drums of low-level radioactive waste from the fire.

I'm not convinced that the lab buildings themselves are invulnerable to a fire storm.
