Nun’s July breach at Y-12 prompts security overhaul
An 82 year old nun and two protesters slipped into a top security area at Y 12 Oak Ridge. The intrusion exposed failing cameras and lax perimeter protection raising calls for military takeover of nuclear facilities and prompting broader SRS security review across U S sites. House subcommittee hearings denounced the lapse as mind boggling incompetence and spurred legislation by Rep Turner to shift protective duties to the Pentagon. The Savannah River Site faced no cited issues but could be affected by Turner’s HRGSSS proposal.
