Requirements: ePUB Reader, 21MB
Overview: On a tranquil summer night in July 2012, a trio of peace activists infiltrated the Y-12 National Security Complex in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Nicknamed the “Fort Knox of Uranium,” Y-12 was reputedly one of the most secure nuclear weapons facilities in the world, a bastion of warhead parts that harbored hundreds of metric tons of highly enriched uranium enough to power thousands of nuclear bombs. The activists a house painter, a Vietnam war veteran, and an 82-year-old Catholic nun–penetrated the complex’s exterior with alarming ease; their strongest tools were two pairs of bolt cutters and three hammers. Once inside, the pacifists hung freshly spray painted protest banners and streaked the complex’s white walls with six baby bottles’ worth of human blood. Then they waited to be arrested. With the symbolic break in, the Plowshares activists had hoped to draw attention to a costly military industrial complex that stockpiled deadly nukes and drones.
