Y-12 Plant Suspends Nuclear Arms Activities Over Feared Vulnerabilities

A security officer participates in a training exercise at the Y-12 National Security Complex. The Tennessee nuclear materials facility suspended all atomic operations after three antiwar advocates late last week infiltrated its highest security area (B&W Y-12 photo). The Y-12 National Security Complex in Tennessee has suspended all atomic activities, locked away stores of refined uranium and mandated personnel retraining in response to mounting fears over defensive shortcomings after three antiwar advocates infiltrated the Tennessee nuclear arms site on Saturday, the Knoxville News Sentinel reported on Thursday (see GSN, July 31).
