‘[And] when a nuclear weapons facility can’t stop infiltration by an octogenarian nun, it’s time to reassess its security standards,’
Over the weekend, the Y-12 National Security Complex in Oak Ridge, Tenn. was infiltrated by three elderly “peace activists” who cut through a number of barbed wire fences to target the Highly Enriched Uranium Materials Facility, officials say.
Once the trio had access to the complex- supposedly one of the most secure in the country- they hung banners, spray-painted, and splashed what appeared to be human blood on the side of the building, according to reports.
63-year-old Michael Walli, 57-year-old Greg Boertje-Obed, and 82-year-old Sister Megan Rice (who is a nun) say they are part of the “Transform Now Plowshares,” a movement that opposes the manufacturing of nuclear weapons.
And as the site where the Hiroshima bomb “Little Boy” was partially created, what better place to stage a protest?
