Protestors remember Hiroshima victims at site of Y-12 security breach

Source: WATE TV

Protestors remain at the entrance of the Y-12 National Security Complex in Oak Ridge, one week after a security breach at the facility.

Security around the complex was tight Monday as members of the Oak Ridge Environmental Peace Alliance marked the anniversary of the Hiroshima bombing by reading the names of victims of the bombing.

They are not affiliated with the nun and two other protestors who were able to cut their way into a high-security area of the complex that stores and processes uranium.

The Oak Ridge Environmental Peace Alliance members held their peace vigil to remember victims of the detonation of a nuclear bomb over Hiroshima at the end of World War II, as well as to protest continued nuclear weapon production at Y-12.
