A group of protesters, including an 82-year old nun, broke into the only US government’s facility for enriching and storing weapons-grade uranium, smearing human blood on the walls of the unit where the nuclear bomb component is stored.
The facility, located in Tennessee, was shut down after it failed to keep out the trespassers. The private contractor responsible for its protection, WSI Oak Ridge, is a wing of the same company that failed to provide enough staff at the London Olympic Games. As a result, the British government was forced to deploy extra British Army troops.
Even though the three activists, who called themselves the Transform Now Plowshares, triggered security sensors when they cut their way through a protective chain-link fence, the security staff was unable to intercept them until they had reached the facility’s walls. When they were found, they had plastered the walls of the uranium storage unit with blood, banners and crime scene tape.
